STEM
New Collaboration Aims To Streamline College-Level Lab Work
College
students and faculty can now use Vernier's
Logger Pro software to export data directly to LabArchives' electronic laboratory
notebook (ELN).
In
a new partnership between Vernier and
LabArchives, students who once had to save files they retrieved using
Vernier's
data-collection and analysis software and then manually upload it to
their ELNs
will be able to skip a step.
Logger
Pro uses more than 80 Vernier sensors to
accumulate relevant data for students and teachers. Lab Archives'
cloud-based ELN
allows students and professors to manage, monitor and evaluate student
work
with intuitive technology that eliminates the need for paper notebooks
in lab
courses.
"Logger
Pro's new functionality with LabArchives
further supports the use of electronic laboratory notebooks by
simplifying the
data-collection process, saving students time and facilitating
collaboration
during college-level labs," said Vernier Co-Founder David Vernier, a
former
physics teacher.
As
part of the streamlining process, students can
now open Logger Pro directly from LabArchives ELN. The new Logger Pro
function for
LabArchives is available for free to users of both Windows and Macs.
