IMMUNOLOGY2025™ Conference Recordings-Using AI software to enhance games to teach immunology to medical students

Using AI software to enhance games to teach immunology to medical students - Matthew Woolard

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Willard from LSU Health Shreveport describes using generative AI to redesign immunology teaching after student dissatisfaction and LCME probation. Moving away from mostly lecture-based instruction, he developed an engaging, game-based model inspired by role-playing games and tower defense. Using ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, DID, and CapCut, he created storylines, fantasy text, images, and narrated cut scenes for “Immune Sogna: Ragnarok’s Wrath.” Students battle zombie Vikings and then connect the scenarios to immune system concepts. The approach boosts engagement, discussion, and learning, while also emphasizing ethical AI use and proper acknowledgment.
