“…responses: likewise, many colleagues have made use of commercial software such as Statecraft to support learning (e.g.Smith & Michaelsen 2021, Kaftan & Linantud 2021, Raymond 2014. The use of such systems avoids having to synchronise students and allows for a more rigorously controlled set of choices to be explored, albeit a controlled set that lacks the human dimension of interactions or behaviour that does not necessarily conform to the expectations of rational choice theory.As a further step back, students could focus their work on what various authors on practical negotiation describe as the most important stage, namely preparation (seeFisher et al 2011).…”

Simulation and negotiation game design typically works from matching learning objectives to specific settings for delivery. Understanding how variables like student numbers, prior knowledge and available time and space for game play will look like is vital for producing efficient active learning environments. This paper demonstrates the challenges that are posed when that definition is lacking by presenting the process of creating an exercise for a distance-teaching programme. Strategies for addressing each of these elements are discussed, grounded in a central focus on resilient design. It highlights the need to design around a structure that can cope with such uncertainty and (relative) novelty, and the potential that is contained in such an approach for more conventional settings. In so doing, it reaffirms the need to have a conscious and transparent design and implementation process in delivering simulation and negotiation games that maximise student learning.

To what extent does gender impact the level of conflict in an online international relations simulation environment? This article uses a survey of participants in the Statecraft simulation to determine the degree to which gender affects simulation outcomes. The authors worked with the Statecraft company to include a limited number of questions in Statecraft's end-of-simulation survey regarding participants’ gender, the level of conflict in the simulated world in which the student participated, and whether the student's world succeeded in building the Globe of Frost, the analog for solving global warming in the simulation. Based on student responses, we find that classes with a majority of male students were significantly more likely to report that their simulated world had a high level of conflict. Teams with majority males were also more likely to initiate conflict and focus on foreign policy rather than domestic policy, though those results were insignificant. Gender did not appear to affect whether or not a simulated world solved the global warming analog; though not significant, the coefficient suggests male-dominated worlds were slightly more likely to construct the Globe of Frost.
