Nasco was started in 1941 by a vocational agricultural teacher, Norman Eckley. He developed several teaching aids to use in his vocational agriculture classes…teaching aids that were not readily available from any other source. This simple act of filling a classroom need with an appropriate product was to become a way of life for Nasco in years to come.
More than 75 years after Norman Eckley published his first catalog, Nasco’s family of educational catalogs continues to serve the needs of teachers worldwide.
Learning Labs is proud to distribute Nasco's health education products to our states here in the Southeast.
And while we can sell all of their products, we wanted to highlight a handful we think you'll be most interested in:

Alex Pro Patient Communication Simulator
The first Patient Communication Simulator that sees, listens, and responds using generative artificial intelligence to communicate!
Generative artificial intelligence uses generative models to produce text or other forms of data. These models learn patterns and structures in their training data and use that to make new data based on input from the user. This usually comes in the form of natural language prompts or the questions you ask Alex! Alex will now allow care providers to perform a more detailed verbal assessment, a better differential diagnosis and hone patient interaction skills.
Additionally, instructors can also now incorporate the benefits of ChatGPT into editing patient scenarios.. ALEX is an untethered, on-the-go patient simulator. Simply unpack, and you’re ready to train – anytime, anywhere (Wi-Fi required). Speaks and understands English, French, and Spanish. ALEX learns new languages all the time so it can help train more learners all around the globe.
