 *Games for Training: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly* {color:#ff0000}*(SLA Spotlight Session)*{color}
 Convention Center, Rm 2AB           
 The notion to use computer games for military training is almost irresistible. Unfortunately, unstated, unexamined assumptions about learning and the character of and driving forces behind commercial games can lead the way to unpleasant results if we don't keep the goal of proficiency "gains" ahead of blindly use of "games." I discuss a handful of lessons learned while developing and deploying two new training systems within DARPA's DARWARS program. Perhaps they will constrain the dark side of computer-based training from tainting other, training-based, efforts to deliver a wide range experiential learning delivered by light-weight simulations.

  *Tour: Olympic Peninsula and Historic Fort Worden via Washington State Ferry*
  
 Join the Military Libraries Division to tour the scenic Olympic Peninsula and unique Fort Worden. This excursion highlights some of the most historic locations of the Pacific Northwest. The day begins with a trip, via a 45 minute ferry ride to Fort Worden, a former Coast Artillery post built for defense of Puget Sound. Tour the Coast Artillery Museum, balloon hangar, three 3-inch anti-aircraft gun emplacements, and several restored quarters on Officer's Row. The Port Wilson lighthouse stands on a sandy pit located on the Straight of Juan de Fuca. This location is perfect for viewing ship traffic, as well as remarkable views of Mount Baker. Lunch is on your own in the old logging village of Port Townsend. This town has retained many of the graceful Victorian buildings of that era with some of the most interesting shopping on the peninsula on the main street's 19th century buildings which have been converted to galleries, antique stores, gift shops, and restaurants. The proprietors have paid particular attention to historical accuracy in restoring these commercial buildings. Return time is estimated at 4:30 p.m. All travel times are dependent on ferry availability for bus.  Please plan your time accordingly if departing Seattle on Thursday evening.Sponsored by SWETS
