Using Video Games to Help Visualize and Teach Microbiological Concepts

Abstract
Microbiology is the study of the invisible world that is ever present in and around us. Oftentimes, it can be difficult to communicate and visualize microbiological concepts to students due to many limitations. Static images in textbooks and simple representations of microscopic organisms and processes attempt to combat this, but it can be restricting. To address this, we seek to understand if interactive learning biology video games can lead to better concept retention and comprehension than traditional assignments, such as a reading article with static images. To analyze this, we use Infection Defense, a free, appealing, easily accessible video game about the immune system, a highly relevant and important microbiological concept. Concurrently, we also seek to analyze participant interest before and after playing the game, compared to standard methods. It is reasonable that the use of a video game to learn can lead to enhanced comprehension and engagement in scientific concepts.
