Student Program Overview: Human Biology, Anatomy Lessons, and Upcoming Course Catalog Changes

Explore the current student program featuring human biology, anatomy lessons, interactive activities, and upcoming changes including a new course catalog and asynchronous learning modules.

July 19, 2025 By Robin Dickinson

In this guide, we'll learn how to navigate the student side of a human biology program as it transitions from live sessions to an asynchronous format. We will look at how lessons, activities, quizzes, and career pages are organized, and how students can interact with different modules and resources. This overview will also explain upcoming changes, including the introduction of course levels and a new course catalog.

Let's get started

Hello, Karina. I just watched the other video and noticed my microphone sounds tinny and strange. I'm not sure what happened to it. I apologize. I may need to change my headset. I apologize for the sound quality. I wanted to finish this quickly because I need to feed my kids.

This is the student side of the program. It's not perfect, but it's done. That's how I feel about it right now. Currently, our entire product is only available as a single package. Everyone studies human biology, and students also have access to a monthly book club and Ask Dr. sessions.

Step #1: Click on "Every Body's Human Biology" — Click on "Every Body's Human Biology"

Robin meets about twice a month. The Anatomy Coloring Book Club meets weekly, along with other live events. We are switching to a fully asynchronous approach and dividing it into three levels. We have a lot going on. That's why I'm starting to lose my mind. We will have a course catalog available for purchase, and it's overwhelming me.

This is what it looks like now. There will be many changes. There are several modules, each containing lessons, quizlets, and career pages.

Step #2: Click on "3 lessons ✓" — Click on "3 lessons ✓"

Step #3: Click on "4 lessons ✓" — Click on "4 lessons ✓"

I’ll switch to a more standard topic: the circulatory system and the heart.

Step #4: Click on "27 lessons ✓" — Click on "27 lessons ✓"

They currently have a workbook. They have different video lessons. When it says "lesson," like here, that indicates a video lesson.

Where it says "Quizlet," that refers to a Quizlet flashcard game for practice.

There are many types of lessons. Some are demonstrations, while others are activities. Some of them are dissections. Some of them are indifferent. I'll click on "Blood and Blood Components."

Step #7: Click on "Lesson" — Click on "Lesson"

Each person receives video lessons. This one is 24 minutes long, which is standard. In it, I teach about blood and its components. Then we have the items below. There is a worksheet included. Lesson activity is simply, "Here's what you do." Provide questions they can answer. For example, with red blood cells, let's discuss what happens if we do this incorrectly.

Step #8: Click on "○ Fighting" — Click on "○ Fighting"

Water, and then this one is correct. That one is right.

Step #9: Click on "○ Water" — Click on "○ Water"

White blood cells are one type of blood cell. When there are too many red blood cells, the condition is called anemia.

Step #10: Click on "○ White blood cells" — Click on "○ White blood cells"

Step #11: Click on "○ Anemia" — Click on "○ Anemia"

Red blood cells are produced—let's call them lungs.

Step #12: Click on "○ Lungs" — Click on "○ Lungs"

Let's say those are fighting infections.

Step #13: Click on "○ Fighting infections" — Click on "○ Fighting infections"

Let's say these are white blood cells.

Step #14: Click on "○ White blood cells" — Click on "○ White blood cells"

If you try to submit that, it will say, "Nope, you're wrong." Then you need to go back and enter the correct answer.

Step #15: Click on "Submit / Mark as Complete" — Click on "Submit / Mark as Complete"

It shows which ones are incorrect, so the kids eventually find the correct answers.

Step #17: Click on "○ Carrying oxygen to cells" — Click on "○ Carrying oxygen to cells"

Here and here, bone marrow, and clotting blood.

Step #18: Click on "O Polycythemia" — Click on "O Polycythemia"

Step #19: Click on "○ Spleen" — Click on "○ Spleen"

Step #20: Click on "O Bone marrow" — Click on "O Bone marrow"

Step #21: Double-click on "○ Clotting blood" — Double-click on "○ Clotting blood"

I'm not reading the questions. I should probably read it. Um, carries that.

Step #22: Click on "○ Plasma" — Click on "○ Plasma"

Now, mark it as complete.

Step #23: Click on "Submit / Mark as Complete" — Click on "Submit / Mark as Complete"

And yay. "You're doing a great job!" Next, you can review it.

You have flashcards, or you can turn it into a game.

Step #26: Click on "Flashcards" — Click on "Flashcards"

It won't let me do that while I'm recording.

Step #27: Click on "Flashcards" — Click on "Flashcards"

That's what the program looks like now. We also have career pages.

Step #28: Click on "Career Page" — Click on "Career Page"

Currently, they are simply a page you download—just like that.

Step #29: Click on "Cardiology.PDF" — Click on "Cardiology.PDF"

I'm currently copying and pasting them into the page.

There is an entire page about it. That's what the kids currently receive. We have a major project to transform this into something new. Instead, kids will progress through levels, and the anatomy lessons will be integrated throughout. It will show separate anatomy sections instead of grouping the circulatory system and heart together. Let me try again.

Yes. Anatomy of the circulatory system, physiology of the circulatory system, and clinical applications of the circulatory system. There will be three modules instead of one, as we are separating all the asynchronous components. I'm sorry, making all of the live content asynchronous. That's what I've been working on all summer.

We're almost finished. But we still need to add everything to the course catalog. That's where you come in with the course catalog. So.
