LIPHA is theserious educational game that has been transforming PSW education in the gerontology space.
"I loved the information that's actually there. If you get the wrong answers, you would also get a feedback that that was the wrong answer, and you would actually try to research more. It would give you time to actually learn about that error that you committed."
"I'm already interested in this field of nursing, so I would say it has only enhanced my interest because the practice– the care practice from my country to here is different, but the primary concern is patient safety, so yeah. So, I would say that the approaches might be different, but the goal is the same."

"As Ontario takes action to increase training, recruitment and retention of health care workers in the long-term care sector, I encourage all long-term care homes and postsecondary education institutions in Ontario to consider adopting LIPHA and making it a part of their existing training and orientation processes."
Why learn in a game?
LIPHA delivers important gerontology content in different ways than the typical classroom.
Game-based learning activates the rewards centres in the brain, and story based learning connects content to emotions.
Video, auditory and visual learners are all supported here, and have greater levels of retention and success.
