About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, where we explore innovative courses and their impact on various industries. I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in game-based learning and social support, with us today. Dr. Smith, could you please share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely! As a psychologist and game designer, I saw the potential for games to create positive social change. The Global Certificate Course in Game-Based Social Support is a culmination of my passion for both fields. HOST: That's fascinating! Could you tell us more about the current trends in game-based social support and how this course addresses them? GUEST: Of course. We're seeing a growing interest in using games for more than entertainment. This course bridges the gap between game design principles and social support strategies, helping professionals create engaging and effective interventions. HOST: And what challenges have you faced while teaching this subject, or that learners might encounter while taking the course? GUEST: One challenge is helping learners understand the balance between fun and functionality. We tackle this by providing real-world examples and case studies throughout the course. HOST: That sounds like a great approach. Now, looking towards the future, what do you envision for the role of game-based social support in education and therapy? GUEST: I believe game-based social support will become an essential tool for educators and therapists. It offers a unique way to engage participants, foster community, and provide individualized support. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights and expertise with us today.
