Exercise design

The practical aspects involving people

On your exercise you'll have participants performing various functions. The terms we use are:

  • Facilitator - this is the person controlling the pace & direction of the exercise (only 1 allowed)

  • Observers - these are the people able to oversee an exercise and with some scope/permissions to modify the live exercise

  • Players - also called the training audience - these are the target or recipients of the exercise

  • Role-players - these are a special type of player. They are the people that along with the Facilitator and Observers make up "exercise control". They have permissions allowing them to interact with players but disguise themselves as stakeholders.

Access to the exercise

Access to an exercise is governed by the role & registration method.

Facilitators and Observers are privileged users and must use two-factor authentication (2FA). This means they must use real email addresses and these email addresses must be pre-registered by the designer by uploading (via the Teams table) to the simulation space.

Players can join an exercise via a wide range of registration options which are presented on the page below. The benefit of pre-registration is that positions, roles, teams and passwords can be pre-assigned and hence make the start of an exercise slicker (and usually easier to test).

Role-players can join as players (recommended) or join as a special "persona-as-team member".
