1 Emergency Planning Simulation 2 1.The timer is more psychological than actual. There is no time limit. However, can total lapsed time be determined and used in a scoring system? 2.If possible I would like to use the actions for scoring. Like a multiple choice test. The correct actions are cumulative. Correct actions could increase increase the score (I.e., +5, wrong actions lower score, -5, or terminate the game) Unless the student does something wrong, the minor mistakes could result in a lower score, and/or a discussion at the end, or at a minimum the correct choices and why. An incorrect action that could result in a fatality should result in game over. For example:, Graphic (skull and crossbones?) the wording responders collapses and dies of ammonia exposure Residents vacate their homes and are overcome by the ammonia cloud Collapse/die Wreck car/die 3.Feed back at the end of the game will include: a final score classification (like a grade) discussion of correct answers 4.Correct answers ( and those that lead to death follow )
