Today’s students expect their learning tools to be as cutting-edge as the technology they use every day, which is why Visible Body Courseware engages students with visual and fully interactive content, putting them right in the middle of the learning experience.
How do students engage with Courseware?
When you assign a lesson, lab activity, or homework in Courseware, students explore virtual 3D gross and microanatomy models of the female and male bodies, animations, and illustrations.
Every model can be manipulated to be studied from any viewpoint, and anatomy can be faded or hidden to simulate dissection through various body systems. When students select a structure, they access a wealth of information, like detailed definitions, pronunciations, Latin terms, associated pathologies, as well as special 3D models that dive deeper into the anatomy.
Students don’t just have to access our award-winning reference apps on a computer. With VBCW, they can download mobile versions to continue exploring and learning wherever they are. The best part? They keep these apps even after their Courseware subscription ends.
Visible Body Courseware was created by instructors for instructors. Instructors use VB Courseware to deliver course assignments and assign quizzes, manage grades, transform lecture presentations to include 3D models and animations, and expand and enhance anatomy lab dissections.
Browse dozens of ready-made virtual courses or create your own using Visible Body's 3D human anatomy models, physiology and pathology animations, premade visual and interactive lessons, and a bevy of tools to create and assign assessments.
Courseware's robust quiz engine includes thousands of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and one-of-a-kind interactive dissection quiz modules that can be used as-is or edited to better fit class topics. Instructors can also create new quiz questions and quizzes from scratch! Assessments can be customized to give students multiple attempts, have time limits, and/or have scoring parameters that report to your gradebook.
All graded assignments in Courseware report to the built-in gradebook. It captures detailed information on each student's performance, which can be transferred to learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L.
