系统人体解剖学是加拿大西部大学的一门全学分的本科课程，包含（检控）实验室部分。为了满足实验室设施物理空间之外的招生需求，开发了一个完全在线的部分，与传统的面对面（F2F）课程同时运行。授课给F2F学生同时广播给在线学生使用协作软件（Blackboard协作）。教学助理使用相同的协作软件进行实验室演示，其中操纵三维（3D）虚拟解剖模型。审查了十个商业软件程序，以确定它们是否适合演示虚拟模型，从而选择了Netter的3D交互式解剖。中枢神经系统的补充在线材料是通过制作塑料化的大脑标本的360度图像和一个可以访问这些图像的网站来开发的。这是一个完全在线本科解剖学课程与现场，互动实验室组件的第一个描述。比较在线和F2F学生成绩的初步数据表明，学生以前的学习成绩，而不是课程交付形式，预测了解剖学的表现。未来的定性研究将揭示学生对两种课程交付形式的学习体验的看法。动物科学教育，8:53-62。(c) 2014年美国解剖学家协会。
Systemic Human Anatomy is a full credit, upper year undergraduate course with a (prosection) laboratory component at Western University Canada. To meet enrollment demands beyond the physical space of the laboratory facility, a fully online section was developed to run concurrently with the traditional face to face (F2F) course. Lectures given to F2F students are simultaneously broadcasted to online students using collaborative software (Blackboard Collaborate). The same collaborative software is used by a teaching assistant to deliver laboratory demonstrations in which three-dimensional (3D) virtual anatomical models are manipulated. Ten commercial software programs were reviewed to determine their suitability for demonstrating the virtual models, resulting in the selection of Netter's 3D Interactive Anatomy. Supplementary online materials for the central nervous system were developed by creating 360 degrees images of plastinated prosected brain specimens and a website through which they could be accessed. This is the first description of a fully online undergraduate anatomy course with a live, interactive laboratory component. Preliminary data comparing the online and F2F student grades suggest that previous student academic performance, and not course delivery format, predicts performance in anatomy. Future qualitative studies will reveal student perceptions about their learning experiences in both of the course delivery formats. Anat Sci Educ 8: 53-62. (c) 2014 American Association of Anatomists.
