This study presents the development, scripting, and evaluation of LABinnov, a virtual platform dedicated to practical work in Life and Earth Sciences. Designed to overcome the limitations of physical laboratories in the Moroccan educational context, LABinnov is structured around the ADDIE instructional design model, guiding every phase from needs analysis to pilot testing. The platform offers interactive scenarios, immersive tools, and personalized support, promoting student engagement, deeper understanding of scientific concepts, and enhanced collaboration between peers and teachers. User feedback—gathered from both teachers and students—reveals a high level of satisfaction with the platform’s usability, interactivity, and pedagogical impact. Areas for improvement were also identified, particularly in terms of multi-device compatibility and the enrichment of experimental content. The article concludes with ambitious future directions, including the integration of artificial intelligence to deliver advanced personalization of learning paths and intelligent pedagogical support, positioning LABinnov as an innovative and evolving solution for digital science education.
