GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Map and timeline of communicable diseases
Description
The global map depicts the temporal evolution of nine selected communicable disease. The color intensity indicates the new cases per million (incidence) for the moment selected. Students can use the timeline to navigate through the evolution of each desease (e.g. transmission to new countries, epidemic outbreaks, disease eradication) and receive supplementary information about it with short texts. By selecting a disease students are given a short informative text about the disease and its evolution over time, and by selecting a country they are provided with epidemiological information for the country.
Notes on pedagogical utilization
Students work on authentic epidemiological data and get familiar with the distinction among endemics, epidemics, and pandemics, and the identification of specific cases of epidemics. The learning object can be used to tackle socioscientific issues such the still-to-date problem of epidemics and pandemics, recent cases of infectious diseases that have hit the students' country, geographical disparities concerning the prevelance of diseases, ways of confronting outbreaks, the notion of Emerging Infectious Diseases, and parameters affecting the development of epidemics into pandemics. Students can find certain exapmples of all these cases by handling the timeline either freely or under guidance. They can use the epidemiological data to discussions, or as material for health-related argumentation tasks (e.g. whether health-related geographical disparities exist, or under what circumstances is vaccination effective for disease eradication). They can make comparisons with the data in order to answer inquiry questions (e.g. what features has a disease being prone to developed into a pandemic, in what ways can an outbreak be managed, or to assess how effective the disease management of certain countries has been). They can, also, elaborate on certain diseases or countries with the tecnhiques of cases studies, bibliographic research, short-scale projects, or other ones (e.g. on tasks concerning the disease eradication of epidemic outbreaks in certain countries).
