Visible Body works with educators and students to design anatomy and biology apps that present information in accessible, relevant, and engaging ways. Mobile and web-based products enable students to study wherever they are and track their own learning.

Instructors can use our 3D visual products to:

  • Replace or reinforce textbooks
  • Create interactive assignments and assessments
  • Augment lectures in class and online
  • Create virtual dissection labs that provide alternatives to plastic models, animal specimens, and cadavers

The interactive 3D models and simulations in Visible Body make it easy for life science students to see the complex spatial relationships between structures and to understand key physiological and biochemical processes.

Help your students build spatial reasoning skills and understand complex processes using:

  • Gross and microanatomy models in AR
  • Augmented reality lab activity worksheets
  • Physiology animations
  • An interactive beating heart
  • Moving muscle actions
  • Simulations of mitosis, meiosis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and DNA coiling/supercoiling

Visible Body’s male and female gross anatomy models, as well as the earthworm, sea star, frog, and pig models in Visible Biology, provide an affordable, fully virtual, and easy-to-use alternative to lab specimens.

Our practice and graded dissection quizzes let students manipulate and dissect models for a hands-on structure identification experience in the classroom, the lab, or at home.

Use our premade collection of anatomy and biology lab activities or create your own virtual assignments using Visible Body Courseware.

Create anatomy and biology courses to fit your curriculum and LMS

Graded quizzes in Visible Body Courseware make it easy to track student progress

Visible Body Courseware is a robust LMS platform that puts our interactive 3D science content and course management tools all in one place. Use it to create a course perfectly suited to your curriculum, or choose from our library of free premade courses, which includes correlations with popular anatomy and biology textbooks.

With Courseware you can:

  • Create assignments using 3D interactive models, simulations, Flashcards, and Tours.
  • Assign quizzes from our bank of over 1,000 dissection and multiple choice quiz questions…or make your own!
  • Track student performance in a gradebook that shows detailed student results.
  • Integrate your course with your existing LMS.

Want to try our 3D, interactive anatomy learning? Schedule an instructor tutorial web meeting with a member of our Education Team. In 30 minutes, you will get a walk-through of some 3D interactive models, and explore the options for creating assignments using these models and our cloud-based online assignment platform, or popular LMS systems like Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle and D2L. You'll also get a free instructor trial code.
