This quantitative study was designed to determine whether there were any significant differences in students and their understanding of animal anatomy and basic physiology in introductory biology and anatomy courses when instructed using self-directed, virtual simulation dissections in a distance-learning format rather than by teacher-directed, hands-on dissections in traditional on-campus classes. Two different courses at Snead State Community College, a small, rural 2-year institution in north Alabama, participated in this study. Principles of Biology II (BIO 104) was a course taken by students not planning a career in a health field, while Human Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 201) was a course designed for students who plan to pursue a health-related degree. A total of 44 students participated in the online versions of their respective anatomy courses, 11 in BIO 104 and 33 in BIO 201, whereas a total of 132 students participated in the on-campus versions of their anatomy courses, 28 in BIO 104 and 104 in BIO 201. At the outset of their anatomy courses, all participants were given a presurvey to obtain basic demographics and background information used in the final analyses.

520 $a A pretest/posttest laboratory practicum evaluation was used to determine students' academic performance in their anatomy courses over a semester. The results indicated that for the BIO 104 students there were no significant differences between those students taking the course online and those taking the course on campus. The BIO 201 students, on the other hand, did indicate a significant difference in the overall academic performance on their laboratory practicums, with the on-campus students achieving statistically higher than the online students. However, it is important to note that the BIO 104 students were not taking their exams as a part of their course grade as were the BIO 201 students. It was also ascertained through this study that students with prior online experience and/or with moderate to substantial dissection experience did not perform statistically better than students without these experiences. Additionally, various characteristics and qualities associated with the success of students in anatomy courses were discovered.
