USIP OSP Tutorial - Simulation Authoring 1.0
Help!

Welcome

In this tutorial we are going to set up a very simple simulation where two people can enter into to negotiate over oranges. Along the way we will discuss many core concepts of the OSP. While we step through the steps sequentially here during the tutorial, when you are creating your own simulations, you need not do things in such a linear fashion. You can enter information in whereever you want to, and the platform will store it for you.

To complete this tutorial you will need access to an authoring account on an OSP server. If you need assistance getting this, please send an email to osp@usip.org. Time to complete this tutorial is approximately three hours.

Optional, but Recommended: You may want to Print out The Entire Tutorial to allow you to easily access the USIP OSP and the tutorial at the same time.

Before You Begin

It is probably worth noting here that this tool Assumes that the simulation author comes in with something in mind to work on - just as the blank page assumes that the writer has something to write about. To perform these tutorials, we have created some rather simple content, but the eventual content that you create using this platform will be (should be) much better.

We are just creating the platform to allow you to become a virtuouso. If this platform needs improvement to allow your creative vision to come to fruition, send an email to osp@usip.org
