An Introductory Epidemiology Learning Resource

Data Description partnered with Dr. David Kleinbaum to produce an engaging and interactive product that teaches the fundamentals of epidemiology. Based on MediaDX, ActivEpi™ 2.0 combines video, animation, hyper-linked text, and interactivity, all synchronized with narration. The design of ActivEpi reflects modern research into how people learn.

Self-Paced Instruction

ActivEpi 2.0 includes over 280 activities, with almost 500 minutes of high-quality, recorded audio, resulting in almost 65 hours of instruction. Users control the pace of instruction and decide when to skip a topic or slow down and work more carefully.

ActivEpi contains many activities that allow the student to apply what they have learned to real data using Data Desk, and specially designed epidemiology templates. Each activity in ActivEpi presents a single concept or method, taking full advantage of the multimedia abilities of computers.

A Self-Contained Course or a Lively Supplement

ActivEpi can be the text for a course, can supplement any standard text, or can be used individually by students who want study aids. It can be purchased from local bookstores or directly from Springer.
