Compare feedback strategies in three versions of an educational game. Study abroad students (N = 482) participated by playing the game and completing pre-game/post-game surveys January-March 2010. This study employed an experimental design. Primary outcome measures were knowledge gain, player-satisfaction, and risk perception. One-third had previously traveled to a malaria-risk region and two-thirds planned to do so. Baseline malaria knowledge was low. Post-game knowledge and risk perception were significantly higher than pre-game, irrespective of past travel status. The group that automatically received explanatory feedback following game decisions scored higher for mean knowledge gain, without differences in player-satisfaction. The challenges of designing a feedback strategy to support Web-based learning make these results highly relevant to health educators developing interactive multimedia interventions. The increasing number of students traveling to higher-risk destinations demands attention. Both malaria-naive and malaria-experienced students would benefit from this approach to travel health education.
