Figure Lengend Snippet: Student confidence in doing dissections alone (left), doing lab-based tasks (center), and following written instructions (right) increased from the beginning to the end of the course (n = 89). Students rated their confidence in these abilities on three Likert items ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (totally confident). According to paired t tests, postcourse confidence was significantly higher than precourse course confidence in all three practical skills: performing dissections alone (t = 5.54, P < 0.001), doing lab-based tasks (t = 4.18, P < 0.001), and following written instructions (t = 2.81, P = 0.006). Bars and error bars represent means and 95% confidence intervals, respectively. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Seventy-five percent of students responded on the postcourse survey that the dissections were either “moderately helpful” or “very helpful” for them in terms of understanding course content (n = 148).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Eighty-five percent of students on the postcourse survey would recommend to another student that they take this course to learn how to do dissections (n = 148). Based on open-ended responses, most of the students who responded “No” felt that the dissections were either unnecessary or too difficult to learn in an online course (Supplemental Table S4).
