SINGAPORE: The Media Development Authority (MDA) has set aside S$6 million to champion the use of games in learning.
The "Media in Learning" initiative will support the development and deployment of up to 24 game titles over the next three years - to aid effective learning not only in schools, but also in other domains such as defence and healthcare.
MDA said a resource centre will be set up to facilitate the growth of this niche sector. The centre, to be ready mid next year, will guide the development and building of games titles.
The centre will also partner local and international organisations to conduct courses to increase awareness and competencies in the "Media in Learning" space.
MDA will also collaborate with publishers to co-invest in promising projects, which can be "re-skinned" and re-developed into generic commercial off-the-shelf titles of a similar nature for different clients and purposes.
A Call for Proposals will be launched on October 23.
