Backward Design for Immunology

This evidence-based immunology learning framework can help instructors align foundational immunology statements with the Vision and Change core concepts for undergraduate life sciences. Designed to support backward course design, it provides a foundation for developing measurable learning outcomes, aligning assessments, and creating coherent, concept-driven immunology curricula.

ImmunoSkills Guide

Competencies and skills are essential for preparing students to think and work like immunologists. The ImmunoSkills Guide defines six core competencies and twenty illustrative skills that provide a framework for designing competency-based undergraduate immunology curricula. Instructors can use these competencies to guide backward course design, align assessments with learning goals, and develop active learning and hands-on laboratory experiences that build the practical skills students need for future careers.

IDE-A Rubric for Inclusive Immunology Education

Inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDE-A) are essential components of high-quality immunology education. This resource provides a practical rubric to help instructors evaluate and select immunology textbooks and course materials through an IDE-A lens, supporting more inclusive, equitable, and accessible learning environments for all students.
