Overview:
If you have taken NextLab for your school, you can run NextLab sessions from your computer lab. You can plan a lab session for a particular class section on a particular date-time. You can assign the specific chapters to be used by students during the lab session. During the session, you can assign students to each computer, and they can attempt the exercises and watch the resources in that given chapter. As students do their attempts, you can monitor the student’s progress and view the reports from your console.
With this, You can effectively make use of your computer lab to run a lab session. At the end of the session, all students would have gotten first-hand learning experience and as a
teacher, you can get the complete picture of the understanding levels of all the students
