The joint project, funded by the Office of Responsible Gambling NSW, will deliver digital education courses targeting the broader community as well as resources for schools and support centres throughout NSW.
Project lead Dr Nick Patterson, from Deakin University's School of Information Technology, said the two-year project would increase the promotion and understanding of responsible gambling through research-driven education using a social learning platform.
"We are combining world class research on gambling and public health by experts from Deakin's Faculty of Health with the latest digital techniques from our Smart EdTech Innovation Lab (SETI) to develop two separate courses," Dr Patterson said.
"One will have a broader community focus and will use the latest tools and techniques to engage the general public around issues of harmful gambling, awareness of the environment and provide strategies people may find helpful.
"The second course will target people at the front-line of this problem such as workers in support centres who need to digest the latest research quickly and put it into play."
