ImmunoReach Course Framework Now Online

SLB is excited to announce that the ImmunoReach group has posted their course framework on CourseSource! The materials are publicly available here. SLB is proud to endorse these materials following a thorough panel review made up of members from a variety of career levels and backgrounds representative of the diverse cross-section of our community.

This learning framework for undergraduate immunology education was developed as a result of a grassroots effort to address the calls for educational reform noted in the Vision and Change Report (AAAS, 2010). The working group developed a two-part immunology-focused framework that includes concepts and competencies aligned with Vision and Change. This learning framework was developed through an iterative cycle of reviews and revisions, both within the task force and with community feedback. Educators reviewed the document through surveys, focus groups and interviews. The learning outcomes are included as examples, and instructors may adopt them or come up with their own.

The 15-member task force that worked to develop this learning framework was led by Dr. Sumali Pandey and includes (alphabetically):

Heather A. Bruns (University of Alabama at Birmingham), Danielle Condry (North Dakota State University), Samantha L. Elliott (St. Mary’s College of Maryland), Louis B. Justement (University of Alabama at Birmingham), Adam Kleinschmit (University of Dubuque), Archana Lal (Labette Community College), Justine Liepkalns (Colorado State University), Philip F. Mixter (Washington State University – Pullman), Sumali Pandey (Minnesota State University Moorhead), , Timothy Paustian (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Sarah Sletten (University of North Dakota), Rebecca L. Sparks-Thissen (University of Southern Indiana), Rebekah T. Taylor (Frostburg State University), Thiru Vanniasinkam (Charles Strut University, Australia), and Brian D. Wisenden (Minnesota State University Moorhead).
