The current study was designed to determine if student performance for Anatomy laboratory exercises differs when taught by Distance Education compared to a traditional laboratory approach. Students in Anatomy of Domestic Animals were presented with laboratory materials either in distance education (DE) format or traditional live wet-lab. An initial survey was used to collect student demographics, including any prior experience with anatomy or distance education. Each week the laboratory lessons alternated between the DE format and the wet-lab format. The DE format included videos, self-tests, group work and textual information, presented using Adobe Dreamweaver and Vista. The wet-lab format consisted of introductory presentations followed by dissections on select organs and/or the students learning various skills (ex. Taking blood pressure). Results of the laboratory practical exams given twice during the semester will be compared to determine if DE is as effective as the use of a traditional laboratory setting.
