BLOSSOMS Rushes to
Release High School Learning Videos on Flu
 MIT
LINC’s BLOSSOMS Initiative is hurrying
to release two video lessons for high school
classes on influenza, hoping to provide valuable
insight and information in the face of the emerging
global outbreak. The two learning videos, Flu
Math Games and The Biology of Flu,
have been created by faculty, researchers and
students at MIT in Cambridge, MA. These educational
videos – using the unique BLOSSOMS ‘interactive’
pedagogy - are designed to afford students a
better understanding of the causation and spread
of this very important human disorder.
Professor Richard Larson, the
Mitsui Professor of Engineering Systems and
Director of the Center for Engineering Systems
Fundamentals at MIT, - along with students,
Dr. Sahar Hashmi and Mai Perches – has
created Flu Math Games video. The goals of this
video are: to show students that math can play
a role in understanding how an infectious disease
spreads and can be controlled; to have the students
see and use both deterministic and probabilistic
models; to learn by doing via role-playing.
