DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research project will develop an engaging game for high school students using simulation of immune cells in the human body fighting infection. The approach combines visually stunning 3D graphics and advanced training technologies including automated case scenario generation, intelligent tutoring, automated debriefing, live conferencing, and performance assessment to provide a constructive environment for both male and female students to build and deploy elements of the immune system in response to pathogens and infectious agents. The game will be designed to include both "virtual world building" and "first-person action" elements. In addition to understanding the cellular basis of the immune response, students will be presented with case vignettes teaching the importance of proper hygiene and lifestyle choices to prevent infection and disease. The proposed STTR project involves a collaboration between SimQuest and the Federation of American Scientists, and the Phase I tasks include the formation and management of an Advisory Board for content and curriculum development, creation of an instructional plan, and development of a Design Document for the game. It is anticipated that the proposed combination of attractive 3D game play, validated content and constructive instructional strategies will produce an effective game for teaching immunological concepts to young adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究项目将开发一个吸引高中生的游戏，模拟人体免疫细胞对抗感染。该方法结合了视觉上令人惊叹的3D图形和先进的培训技术，包括自动案例场景生成、智能辅导、自动汇报、实时会议和绩效评估，为男女学生提供了一个建设性的环境，以建立和部署免疫系统的元素，以应对病原体和传染性病原体。这款游戏的设计将包括“虚拟世界建设”和“第一人称动作”元素。除了了解免疫反应的细胞基础外，学生还将看到案例插图，教授正确的卫生和生活方式选择对预防感染和疾病的重要性。拟议的STTR项目涉及SimQuest和Federation of American Scientists之间的合作，第一阶段的任务包括组建和管理一个咨询委员会，负责内容和课程开发，创建教学计划，以及开发游戏的设计文件。预计将有吸引力的3D游戏玩法、经过验证的内容和建设性的教学策略相结合，将产生一种有效的游戏，用于向年轻人教授免疫学概念。
