The Academy
• equips U.S. and international civilian, military, and nongovernmental practitioners with the skills for effective peacebuilding
• provides decision-makers with the understanding and tools for crafting sound policies for conflict management and peacebuilding
• gives government officials and civil society leaders in zones of conflict the skills, tools, and practice to build peace
• strengthens the capacity of educational institutions and civil society organizations to prepare future conflict managers and peacebuilders

• set clear learning objectives and outcomes
• use roles to influence learner engagement and what they learn
• allow and account for participants’ creativity

As technology has come to be a vital part of our lives, it just makes sense to include it in our role-play.

GAME and TERP Visually appealing Lots of cool action A clear winning strategy Generally very little back story Can be multi-player
Visual appeal not required Lots of sitting and thinking Often no easy answers Often pages for players to read Must be multi-player (for now)

Technology Spectrum
From BOGGSATT to Matrix
The OSP currently creates simulations at the level of ‘Technology Enhanced Role Play’ (TERP).
I also like to think of this as the ‘Strategic Communications’ level.

Why TERPs? (Part I)1. Allows people playing in your simulation to act more as
they would in the real world: communicating via email, chat, memos, etc.
2. Allows people to be physically located in different places.
3. Allows the linking-in of real time data available on the internet (such as current articles and videos) to your simulation.
4. Reduces the work on instructors running the simulation, thus increasing the chances that it will get played.
![Page 23: Note for the Web Version](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db09604/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why TERPs? (Part II)5. Allows the automated tracking of data, such as how students respond
to game world events. This makes possible the accumulation of ‘accessible experience.’
6. By tracking events we can compare different groups of students to look for trends and improve our assessments.
7. Opens the door to further automation (such as the addition of hard constraints, underlying models, or intelligent agents) by keeping the data in a standard format (XML).
8. Provides places to store and organize information (such as objectives, audience, standard plan for playing it, etc.)
9. Opens the door to improved sharing and collaboration by keeping the design considerations together with the simulation.

The Key to This is Creating a ‘Good Enough’ Crystal.
Linus Torvald did not contribute all 8,000 person-years. He created something ‘good enough’ for others to contribute to. He created the crystal.
According to the web site of David Wheeler, if one were to develop Linux 7.1 from 2001,
“It would cost over $1 billion …”“It includes over 30 million physical source lines of code (SLOC).” “It would have required about 8,000 person-years of development time, as determined using the widely-used basic COCOMO model.”

The Future
In the future, we will prepare people for what might come at them by putting them into simulated experiences.
In the future, creating simulations will be an everyday experience.
In the future, simulation technology will be ‘invisible.’
In the future, many people will create simulations without any programmer involvement.

Student (After Playing in our Afghanistan Reintegration Simulation)This simulation made me realize that theory is so much different from practice. Even if we have a clear plan and good intentions, problems always happens… I have never been sensitive about how to write something as I was today.
Instructor (Facilitating Simulation)Today was great - the kids were using the [OSP] during class while they did research, and they were getting a lot done. It was actually really interesting watching them. They also seem really into it - they're excited about trying out something new like this. "Thanks" doesn't seem like enough, but really, thank you!

Student (After Partaking in Creating Simulations)The creation of online simulations through the OSP was surprisingly easy. Drafting the storyboard and materials are the hardest part of the process, but once those documents are completed they can be easily plugged into the online simulation platform. Programming a simulation is pretty straight-forward and does not require any in-depth training; and the online tutorial provides the basic information necessary to start the process. As a result the OSP is program suitable for novices to experts in the field, as it can produce simulations as simple or as complicated as the creator desires.
