Experiences in Teaching Middle East Politics via Internet-based Role-Play Simulation
Open accessAbstract
In this article we describe how the Internet and the World Wide Web have been used to add a new dimension to the teaching of Middle East Politics. Students carry out extended role-play simulations, via the mechanisms of email and chat-rooms, to conduct Middle East diplomacy. In the process, they learn about both the specifics of Middle East politics and international relations in general. Student evaluation of the simulation has indicated that they provide an effective learning environment, providing both motivation to study and "hands-on experience" in the practice of international relations. Reviewers: Simeon Yates (Open U.), Mats Daniels (Uppsala U.), Robin Brown (U. Leeds) Interactive elements: A video with author Andrew Vincent, plus footage from the Middle East role play simulations and student interviews. The Middle East Simulation Website, as used by students in the May 1997 exercise, is at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~jas/poli/sample/. The Chat-room, and the new Web-based interface can be viewed at http://bock.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/, and require a browser that can handle JavaScript. .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
