Online Games and Health Teaching: For People of All Ages, Abilities, and Savvy (HLOL #205)

by | Nov 1, 2020

Nick Bowman Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the College of Media and Communication at Texas Tech University. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed manuscripts on the uses and effects of video games and other interactive media. Bowman is the incoming editor of Journal of Media Psychology and completed a Fulbright program in Taiwan studying persuasive applications of virtual reality.

In this podcast, Nick Bowman talks with Helen Osborne about:

  • Online games. There are many types–all sharing the basics of rules and goals.
  • People of all ages, abilities, and levels of techno-savvy can benefit from online games. These include managing stress, improving cognitive abilities, and opportunities for interaction and socialization.
  • Games as tools for health communication. Examples include exercise programs, health education, and digital interventions to improve focus and concentration.
