Tools for teaching immunology: using DrawItToKnowIt in graduate and medical education - Elizabeth Delery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology, describes teaching a long-form immunology course in a biomedical sciences master’s program to build students’ foundational knowledge for medical school. She explains why immunology is difficult but essential, especially for future physicians addressing vaccine hesitancy and modern therapies like monoclonal antibodies and CAR T cells. She then presents “Draw It to Know It,” an active-learning platform with tutorials, quizzes, flashcards, drawing exercises, and analytics for instructors. She says it helps students engage, retain material, and perform better, and shares positive student feedback and course integration examples.
