So easy! Check out our ‘Virtual Experience’ of the platform to see how it looks. We also offer a free 5 minute training video to get you started once you sign up. No IT department needed.

While the content is all based online, students and teachers need a solid internet connection and computer. It’s recommended that teachers have a projector if working through the material as a class, and students have headphones if working on their own.

We are happy to say that much of the platform is suitable for the visually impaired. The content is often presented in multiple formats (eg. audio/text/video). If you have a student that requires special access of material, please send us a note and we will work to make a component of the platform more easily accessible to those students where possible.

A teacher and a youth leader developed Nature Labs! We reached out to over 300 individuals to hear what a variety of people thought about our idea. We tested it with teachers and youth and tweaked what was needed until we were happy that Nature Labs could make an impact. To be useful and used. Read more about Simon & Jill and take a peek behind the scenes in ‘The Making Of’.

YES! We love feedback and are constantly working to improve Nature Labs so that we can inspire the next generation in the most effective way. Send us a note (hello@naturelabs.ca)!

At this time we do not. But never say never.

No! We know how hard it is to remember individual log in information, so each class has its own username and log in information. A class of up to 35 students can log in to one account. We will not collect student information. When signing up, we do need the school or teachers name for the purchase. Student may want to connect via our social media platforms, and we LOVE to interact with them. We will not save their information, and follow digital best practices to ensure a safe space for student conversations. Note that we do not monitor our social media channels 24/7, but access them multiple times a day to ensure that conversations remain focused and relevant. Please have a read through our Privacy Policy for more details.

Absolutely! The platform is set up for maximum flexibility. Whether your class prefer to work in teams, on their own, or a split between school and home, the content and instructions cater to the diverse needs of each student.

Nature Labs is an immersive, choose-your-own-adventure story that covers 5 different courses and can be used cross curricularly or for one to four classes on their own. With flexible, daily and non-repetitive material, students will be able to consume fresh content.

We’ve outlines on our Curriculum Connections page the majority of curriculum that Nature Labs covers. It’s suitable from students in grade 7 all the way up to college and university. The flexibility of the platform allows the instructor to go deeper into the topics covered and expand on some of the basic themes throughout the platform.

No! Although the storytelling base is set in Mount Robson Provincial Park, BC and much of the material refers to Canada, it’s suitable for anyone around the world. And hey - it’s like you get to travel to Canada for a virtual tour. Our Social Studies unit does cater toward the Canadian government, much of the principles of the lessons apply to government structure around the world. Check our Curriculum Connections page to see what topics are covered with Nature Labs.
