New models of negotiation through role-playing

As a relatively new department, PIPS has been keen to introduce new forms of teaching into its curriculum. I have developed modules based around negotiations, with a view to enabling students to engage with a substantive topic in a much more expriential and immersive way, so that they can appreciate the pressures and constraints that such negotiations impose on reaching an agreement. The Fellowship enabled me to further develop the central negotiation module, with a more rigorous system of observation and feedback, and the use of new technologies (including e-learning tools such as intranets and wikis) to support the negotiations and a more theoretical preparation for students. In addition, I developed tools and materials for use in other modules at all levels from first year undergraduate to Masters, both within the department and further afield.

If you'd like to see more on my work, then you can take a look at my own wiki (http://negotiating.wetpaint.com), where you'll find a range of materials for both the theoretical and practical sides of negotiation-based learning.
