Activity Games4*, Health&Education:

Games are capable of telling stories and holding a narrative on their own, and can play a role in facilitating learning outcomes in a wide range of situations. The 2nd Games4everything meeting (#G4*UST) is a joint initiative of the Chair in ICT and Healthcare, and the Research Group on Data and Signal Processing (DSP Group) from the UVic-UCC.
