Using a physiology virtual laboratory to explore vascular reactivity: feedback from undergraduate biology students in France
, a virtual lab developed by the University of Angers, used by physiology students at the University of Lyon to learn vascular physiology without animal testing. Most students found the virtual lab engaging, effective, and ethically valuable, highlighting its potential to complement, but not replace, traditional hands-on lab work.
