We’ve been working with the Institute for Creative Technology and the US Department of Defense to develop ELECT, a practical training aid for officers and negotiators stationed in Iraq. What does ELECT stand for? We actually have no idea.* What we do know is that it’s a comprehensive simulation of practical bi-lateral negotiation. We did writing, interface design, and game mechanic design for the design doc and prototype.
* just looked it up, actually: Enhanced Learning Environment with Creative Technology. Superb.
ICT has their own website, believe it or not! It’s at ict.usc.edu!
