Welcome to the new Anatomy and Physiology Online (806-177) page.

I wanted to develop a state-of-the-art online course for anatomy and physiology for
some time now and have finally completed it. Moraine Park will be running the course
every semester. You can register there.

This course is a baccalaureate level course and is equivalent to the face-to-face
version I usually teach on campus. It will transfer to many 4-year colleges. Of course
you should always check this out with the college you wish to transfer the course to
before taking it.

How to learn anatomy and physiology online:

Check out some of the course features:

  • Interaction with the instructor via course discussions.
  • Complete set of interactive powerpoints including  links to learning objects and other resources.
  • Online lab featuring the Visible Human Project--a digitized cadaver that you can dissect.
  • Online textbook
  • Podcasts of lectures

I am very excited about the VH Dissector software that features the data from the
Visible Human Project. This is not just a series of pictures of a dissection but a set of
data that can be manipulated. Structures and systems can be added or removed and
the cadaver can be magnified and rotated. I wrote all of the labs for this course that
can be loaded into the dissector software. Students follow the labs and complete
worksheets for lab credit. It really helps you to learn anatomy and physiology.

This course was presented at the League for Innovations conference in Nashville in
November 2007.
