When Simulations Do Not Go as Planned: A Designer’s Perspective

Jon L. Smythe

Tulsa Community College

In this article, the author reflects on the first run of a simulation he created for second language students. The participants, however, were his colleagues in a graduate-level materials development course, not language students. His initial reactions to the way his colleagues interpreted their roles reveals how little ultimate control the designer has on the outcome(s) of his or her simulation.

Key Words: control • culture • debate • diplomacy • funding • global crises • politics • simulation development
