Kognito

Kognito logo

Kognito is an online educational program designed to educate faculty, staff, and students about mental health. Each simulation exercise in Kognito allows the user to practice conversations that help students build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop connections with campus resources. Through role-play, users build knowledge and skills around mental health and suicide prevention. Kognito is also designed to support academic performance, student retention, and campus safety.

Faculty, staff, and students can create an account with Kognito and use the platform at any time. The program takes approximately 30 - 40 minutes to complete and may be repeated as desired.

Kognito is available university-wide as a two-year pilot. This is the first time Tufts has implemented an interactive training tool of this kind on such a wide scale. We look forward to receiving feedback from faculty, staff, and students about the user experience to help assess the potential strengths and weaknesses of this avatar-based simulation program.
