The Online Computer Aided Instruction in Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates is an online tutorial system that covers the introduction, and anatomical and evolutionary concepts based on the book: Ching J. A. 2004. Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates Compedium. In traditional method, the subject coordinator said that she only writes the score in the quiz in the piece of paper then transfers it to the computer. Proponents notice that it may lead to the loss of data and inconsistency. The study was made to provide a system that could improve the way of learning Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates for 2nd year Medical and Human Biology students of De LaSalle University- Dasmariñas. It is an online tool which is designed and developed to increase the learning of students taking up this subject and provide them with additional resources to make them understand difficult topics concerning the first two chapters presented on their textbook, the Compendium by Dr. Johnny Ching. The system provides three ways of viewing the lessons and a chapter exam to test the understanding of the students. The online computer aided instructions in Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates was developed through gathering of information. C#.NET was the primary language used by the proponents in most part of the system. The proponents presented the system to the subject coordinator of Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates Ms. Luisa V. Cuaresma and biology students to test the overall functionality of the system as well as to know their feedback regarding the system. In the final results in testing the system, it only shows that the system got the satisfaction of the users in the system. The system is well accepted by the students, professors and subject coordinator of DLSU-D based on the results.
