Flow of the resource allocation funding network game. Students move from role assignment and mission development to rule instruction and interaction logging, followed by a timed negotiation period in which legitimacy (O) and resource (X) exchanges occur under role-specific constraints. The instructor then halts interaction, compiles the logged data into a network dataset, and uses the resulting visualization to guide structured debrief and analysis. All interactions, including unsuccessful attempts, are recorded as directed ties.
