Senior Lecturer Dr Bina Rai’s “Serious Games for Health” module was mentioned in this article in todayonline.<\/p>\n

After ToBeYou was launched on July 21, 2021, Singapore\u2019s Racial Harmony Day, we asked undergraduate students studying Serious Games for Health (offered by the Biomedical Engineering Department at the National University of Singapore) and their lecturer, Dr Bina Rai, to play-test the game and give us feedback.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Rai, they found that the \u201ccarefully crafted game design manages to successfully achieve the almost impossible task of placing the play-learner in the shoes of the character, to understand their feelings and perspectives\u201d.<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cEmpathy is not an easy skill to train but the team may have just created a unique and engaging tool for this purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n
