Simulation Parameters allow instructors to tweak the scenario that learners encounter. This is a great option to challenge students or mirror the economic impacts happening in the real world.

Standard - There are no surprises in the economic forecast with each segment growing at a constant rate. 

Growth - Similar to the Standard Scenario, but with variation in the growth rates. Over eight rounds segments will grow to the same size as the Standard Scenario, but the year-to-year growth rate will vary. This reflects the uncertainty of real-world markets.

Recession - The Recession Scenario starts off similar to the Growth Scenario, with varying growth rates.  However, in Round five of the simulation, the economy collapses followed by a stagnant round and a two-round recovery

Additionally, administrators can customize the scenario further by making adjustments to:

• Ideal Product Positioning Per Segment
• Prime Interest Rates Per Round
• Market Segment Growth Rates Per Round

Policy Decisions let you ease the complexity of the learning experience or focus your instruction where it matters most. By turning policy decisions on for a department, all decisions are condensed into one high-level decision per round.

Our Module Builder allows you to create new decisions and the associated business impacts. This provides a powerful way to customize the experience around the themes, topics, and objectives that matter most to you.

Integrating our simulation directly with your organization's learning management system allows you to streamline several administrative tasks:

• Single Sign-On lets your learners access our simulations directly from within your LMS removing the need for unique login credentials and ensuring students always access the correct section.
• Gradebook Synchronization allows all scoring and group information to automatically flow between our simulations and your gradebook within your LMS.

Some of the popular LMS platforms we integrate with:

• Canvas
• Blackboard
• Sakai
• Brightspace
• Moodle
• Schoology

Our Real-time Alerts provide instant feedback and assistance to eliminate basic simulation mistakes that detract from business learning and improve learner confidence.

Auto-recalculation displays the cross-functional impacts of decisions in real-time, helping learners quickly recognize the effectiveness of their decision-making.

A tiered, multi-level onboarding experience eases learners into developing a sound understanding of the simulation mechanics and gets them ready to make informed business decisions in as little as 45 minutes.

At the end of each round, administrators are provided with an automated debrief report highlighting key insights into the performance of each company. Use it to inform your instruction, or allow students to access the report directly within the simulation.
