Efficacy of Role Play in Concert with Lecture to Enhance Student Learning of Immunology

Despite numerous reports that active learning increases student understanding, many barriers still exist that prevent faculty from shedding the traditional passive lecture and adopting active learning strategies in the classroom. This study looks at the use of role play as an active learning techniq...
