Introduction Medical students find immunology difficult to understand and relate to clinically and are often frustrated by the amount of detailed material. We created PRIME Immunology: Preview or Review of Important Material for Everyone: (i) video modules, (ii) Instagram site, and (iii) vocabulary files called Immunology Language. Methods The self-paced modules introduced key topics in immunology for students to complete prior to their instructional block. Results and Conclusions Use of PRIME Immunology during a 3-year period suggested that providing students with an overview of key topics before the start of their course may (i) reduce student angst about immunology and (ii) improve retention of immunology.

No current textbook in Immunology, no matter its size or sophistication, contains the answers we would like to find about important clinical issues, such as the production of new vaccines, the therapy of allergic and autoimmune diseases, or safe methods of transplantation. Nor do these books contain a satisfactory explanation of immunological activity as a whole, although they are replete of data on cellular and molecular details on specific immune responses, natural tolerance (self-tolerance) and immune regulation. Additional textbooks reproducing these obvious deficiencies, seem to me, are unnecessary.

The Immunology is a recent scientific discipline. The complexity of its concepts and their ever-changing could present educational challenges for teachers and barriers to learning for learners. In this article, we have tried, through an investigation by a survey, to highlight the views of a group of students for some immunological concepts concerning vaccines and vaccination. The analysis of the survey's results allows us to assess whether these perceptions can represent potential obstacles to the further acquisition of knowledge in Immunology.

Science literacy is very closely related to the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 which demands graduates of quality, able to compete globally and master the development of technology-based on information literacy. The quality of teaching materials such as books needs to be improved and developed in line with advances in information and communication technology. One effort that can be done to develop learning resources in the form of printed books is to package them in the form of electronic books. The purpose of this research was to develop an electronic book on Immune system materials to upskill students’ scientific literacy. This research was constructed as a development study using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) but in this research we didn’t include a Disseminate step. Development stage was held in Biology Department of FMIPA Universitas Negeri Surabaya which produced Immune System e-book. Then, the developed electronic book was being assessed by two.
