The case study uses digital video newscasts and interviews and municipal Web sites provide information about commerce and diseases in an attempt to mirror real-life situations. Different modules map onto various types of epidemiology study designs -- case control, ecological, and cohort studies. Another module explores the topic of infectious diseases. Interactive visuals and multiple-choice questions allow students to test hypotheses about these cases.
