The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) was recently awarded first place in the category of Future Serious Games at the Future Play 2007 International Games Competition for its Response Ready interactive learning tool. The award recognizes new and emerging talent in game design for games that are not necessarily built for pure entertainment, but for other purposes such as learning. Response Ready, which was introduced in September 2007 as one of CSA's newest eLearning product lines, is designed to help site managers, environmental managers, and safety professionals refine their methods for developing emergency response plans through emergency simulation computer games. The game uses a trial and error methodology to highlight what responses mayor may not work in reallife situations. This allows users to test planning skills in a forgiving virtual environment rather than waiting for a real disaster to take place. In the game, emergency planners and responders practice sections of CAN/CSA Z731, Emergency Preparedness and Response. They identify hazards, balance effort against severity and probability, generate procedures, and run through a simulated emergency to test the effectiveness of their plans.
