2 Overview Project Goals Educational Objectives Design Constraints
Overview The Disaster Dynamics game is a four-player virtual strategy game about the interaction between natural disasters and urban planning. Students who play the game learn about hazard management through role-playing, negotiation, and experiencing the sometimes unintended consequences of their decisions. Project Goals Educational Objectives Design Constraints The Game

3 Disaster Dynamics Project
Disaster Dynamics Project Goals Transform descriptive case studies into interactive learning tools for undergraduate and professional education Integrate concepts of complexity, resilience, and adaptation in dynamic, computer-aided role playing simulations/games Contribute to the design of hazard resistant and resilient communities Approach Family of educational role-playing simulation games Integrate face to face and computer tools Engagement of gaming
