Gamifying epidemiology education with the EpiPlay application

One of the current trends in middle and higher education is to gamify learning and EpiPlay is a great example of these. It is an easy-to-use application that introduces many of the basic concepts of epidemiology, putting them in the context of a game, which the player must apply to understand the dynamics of random epidemic events that arise in populations. This application uses three classical epidemiological models, thus allowing educators to explain the different parameters that characterize epidemics and players to understand how these parameters interact in a user-friendly way.
