Serious games and simulations for education and training

Oztron develops a wide range of educational simulations and serious games for universities and corporations. During this session we shall examine several case studies across areas including nursing, pharmacy, medicine, construction, and architecture. 

Dale Linegar is the Director of Oztron. Oztron creates a range of educational simulations and serious games for clients including Victoria University, Monash, RMIT, Canberra Institute of Technology, University of Canberra, University of Queensland, Glaxosmithkline and CSL - in areas including nursing, pharmacy, medicine, construction, and architecture.
Dale is also co-founder of The Lab - a technology club for young people with Asperger's Syndrome.

Hopefully, participants will gain a new understanding on how the strong interest in technology by young people with Aspergers Syndrome can be harnessed in innovative ways to bolster their life prospects, enhance their social skills and improve the wellbeing of their families.
