The International Communication and Negotiation
Simulation (ICONS) Project at the University of Maryland teaches
undergraduate students how to negotiate by involving them in
role-playing exercises using the Internet.
ICONS currently has a three-year grant from the Fund for the
Improvement of Postsecondary Education, US Department of Education,
which allows us to offer a simulation on the "International Relations
of the Americas" to interested faculty and their students -- free of
charge. The next simulation is scheduled for April 13 to May 1,
1998. Visit our Web site at <http://www.icons.umd.edu> or e-mail Dr.
Brigid Starkey, ICONS Associate Director at <bstarkey@bss2.umd.edu>
for more information on training and registration.
