BioDigital Human vs Biology Labs Online

BioDigital Human is an interactive 3D platform for viewing human anatomy, health conditions, and treatments. Its Human Library has more than 1,000 models in eight languages, including male, female, and pediatric anatomy, systems, and regional views. The virtual human contains over 14,000 anatomical structures, and the library depicts more than 600 health conditions. Treatment materials include interactive procedures, prostheses, and pharmacological animations; new treatment and mechanism-of-action models are added monthly. Human Studio lets users create customized model views and guided anatomy journeys without a developer. Quiz Builder includes over 200 library quizzes and tools to create or customize quizzes. The HTML-based platform can embed 3D models in learning management systems and other digital products. It is presented for education, clinical workflows, and pharmaceutical and medical device companies. The free Personal plan includes 10 in-app 3D model views per month, five saved models, and 500+ anatomy and physiology models. It does not include publishing tools or developer toolkits and APIs for embedding models or building experiences.

Biology Labs Online is a free web collection of 12 interactive biology simulations and exercises for college and AP high school students. Topics include inheritance, evolution, genetics, population growth, protein structure and function, electron transport, plant physiology, cardiovascular homeostasis, and enzyme biochemistry. The inquiry-based activities are designed to reinforce scientific methodology, including principles that may be dangerous, expensive, or time-consuming to study in wet labs. They are not intended to replace traditional labs, operate as standalone tutorials, or serve as online courses. Older Java applets are converted to JavaScript through CheerpJ, a process the site says can have minor quirks. The listed tested browsers on Windows and Mac include Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Brave, plus Safari on Mac. The applets assume mouse input and do not work well on mobile devices. Many can export data and graphs, but pop-ups must be allowed for the output window to appear. Notebook data must be exported locally or copied elsewhere to preserve it. Instructors can request access to instructor resources by email.
