Additional Information
FAQs
Can I pick play a specific role?
All positions will be determined based on how you answer registration questions.
Signing up with others
We encourage you to invite your colleagues to play with you!
Do I have to attend every Zoom meeting?
To get the most of both of the simulations, we highly recommend you prioritize these meetings.
How do CPE hours work?
We understand life gets in the way sometimes and that it may be unrealistic to make a meeting. We give a CPE hours to each instructor who attends at least 6 of the 8 sessions for the total number of hours they were present.
Does this cost anything to play?
No 🙂
How will we be meeting?
We will be using Zoom as our main meeting room.
Why should I attend the Debrief?
The Debrief is designed to help illuminate the decisions that other countries made and why they made them. You may learn about secret missions they were incentivized to take and their overall strategies and approach to playing. This is also a great way to understand how to run a Debrief Meeting with your students.
Are we taking any holiday weeks off?
We will be moving the Monday of Memorial Day Weekend to that Wednesday June 2nd. At our first meeting on April 19, all instructors will receive a calendar invite with Zoom links to all of the dates and are encouraged to RSVP to all they plan to attend.
