Its library includes more than 15 human body systems, over 17,000 anatomical structures, microscopic models and more than 550 body-action animations. CT and MRI files can be imported for 3D exploration of anatomy, pathologies and structural variations. 3D Organon Web runs in a browser, recommends Chrome and Safari, and is included at no extra charge for institutional license subscribers; it supports Single Sign-On and Learning Management System integration.

Licenses apply to one device at a time, though the key can be revoked to move it after an upgrade. The service is for education and training, not medical advice or clinical decision support.

HHMI BioInteractive provides biology classroom materials and professional learning for educators and students. Its resources include films, interactive labs, simulations, animations, data-driven investigations and lessons, with educator tools for adapting, implementing and assessing them. The organization says its materials are made with scientists and educators, draw on peer-reviewed research and real-world data, and undergo scientific accuracy review. Free professional learning includes online and in-person workshops, courses, and partnerships with schools and districts. The site identifies high school and undergraduate life science educators as its main audience. Assessment Builder offers crowdsourced, vetted assessment items for high school and introductory undergraduate life science courses, and requires a verified BioInteractive educator account. Interactive Video Builder lets users assemble interactive videos from more than 200 BioInteractive videos, clips and animations. Its terms caution that creating these videos may be suboptimal on phones and tablets, although playback works well there.
