Hi Dr. Moursund

I just downloaded your book and can't wait to read it. I am very interested in the use of games in education, specifically the natural sciences. Thanks for writing this and making it available!

Professor Moursund:

I am most interested in your work. I shall be studying the material you have put up at your website, and shall comment if I have something useful to contribute.

Meanwhile, I would like to send you some information about a uniquely powerful aid to problem solving and decision making, the 'One Page Management Systen' (OPMS) that would have significant impact on learning+teaching systems in all fields. May I send you some information about it - a PowerPoint presentation + a couple of Word documents? If you find this material interesting/ intriguing, I shall be happy to make freely available the prototype software realising the OPMS. OPMS enables users to choose any Mission and elicits their ideas about the Mission through some carefully-framed 'trigger question' - these are the 'elements' of the system they want to construct or study in relation to their Mission. OPMS then enables users to construct representations of their 'mental models' showing their perceptions of how the various elements are related to each other and to the Mission - these models can be developed into Action Plans to help realise the Mission.

Please feel free to seek any clarifications or further information

Best regards
GS Chandy

Short addition to my previous entry just posted:

The OPMS is based on the seminal contributions to systems science from Professor John N. Warfield, Professor Emeritus, George Mason University. Information about Warfield's work is available at http://www.jnwarfield.com and from the library of George Mason Univeristy, which maintains the "John N. Warfield Collection" (books, papers and presentations of Warfield and collaborators)
