“GameLead”, an app designed by SMU Senior Lecturer of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources Dr Rani Tan, won two awards at the second annual Wharton-QS Stars Reimagine Education awards and conference last week in Philadelphia, United States. It won a Social Sciences and MBA Discipline award, and a silver award in the ICT (information and communications technology) Tools for Learning and Teaching category. CSI Agent on a Mission, another app designed by Dr Rosie Ching, SMU Senior Lecturer of Statistics, also won a bronze award in the Educational App category. Dr Tan noted that she developed this app for her students to have an experience beyond the classroom, adding that it works especially well with the younger generation. The app was a hit when it was introduced in 2013. Now, more than 500 undergraduates use it each term. SMU Centre for Teaching Excellence Director and Associate Professor of Economics (Practice) Tan Swee Liang said that the centre "supports faculty who are interested in innovating through the purposeful adoption of technology”.
