Science Education Company, Hands-On Labs, Wins Innovation & Growth Award.
Hands-On Labs, Inc. (HOL), producers of LabPaqs (www.labpaq.com), collections of laboratory science experiments for the distance learning market, announced it has been recognized as a Colorado Company to Watch awardee by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (see also Hands-On Labs, Inc. - LabPaqs).
LabPaqs are boxed collections of science materials that are primarily used with online learning lab science courses in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, plus Environmental and Forensic Science. They allow college-level students to earn transferable credits doing at home the same science experiments performed on campuses. Educators adopt a LabPaq like a textbook, assign it in the course syllabus, and students buy it online.
The distance learning market is growing at 20% per year. LabPaq sales are growing at a faster pace. On May 1, HOL moved into a 28,500 square foot facility, quadrupling its size. More than 20,000 LabPaqs will be shipped in 2009. HOL recently entered into a strategic alliance with McGraw-Hill Higher Education to offer cost effective combined packages to students.
