Auto-Recalculation

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

Real-time Alerts

Real-time alerts provide guardrails that eliminate basic user errors. Alerts are not tips or advice but rather a warning when the user may have accidentally made a mistake that would detract from the learning experience.

Quick Onboarding

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.

Team Chat

CapsimChat puts collaboration and team dynamics front and center—allowing learners to communicate with teammates directly within the simulation interface. Users can quickly send updates to their entire team or message teammates individually.

LMS Integration

Streamline the admin process and integrate your simulation directly within your learning management system. Our tools are ready to merge with your LMS platform to streamline course creation, team assignment, grading, and more.

Scenario Customization

Simulation parameter customization is a great way to adjust the scenarios your learners encounter. Instructors often use this feature to:

• Increase simulation difficulty: Building in fluctuation or randomization of industry growth rates introduces additional operational challenges for learners.
• Mirror real-world events: Simulating recessions or booming periods of growth create specific learning experiences that may better fit your course structure or instructional approach.
• Introduce disparity between sections: For instructors with multiple course sections, providing unique scenarios for each group of students enhances the integrity of the learning experience.

Scoring Customization

Our simulations offer various scoring methods to fit different audiences and learning goals.

• Star Scoring: Evaluate participants across five key metrics each round. Participants must improve on the previous round's performance to earn a star. Star Scoring is ideal for introductory courses.
• Balanced Scorecard: A comprehensive scoring method that evaluates performance across various metrics. This scoring technique reflects real-world reporting and is most appropriate for intermediate and advanced courses.
• Success Measures: A customizable set of performance metrics with the ability to individually modify the weights of each metric. Instructors can choose the specific metrics and weights themselves or allow the teams to make those decisions to align with their given strategy. While Success Measures can simplify or elevate the simulation difficulty, it's most often used with advanced participants.

Decision Customization

Our simulations offer the flexibility to customize the decision-making to fit your course needs and goals. With the Module Builder, you can introduce new concepts into the learning experience by creating different decisions or departments. Additionally, the Policy Decisions feature can simplify the existing decision set by having students make one consolidated decision for an entire department.

Automated Debriefs

The automated debrief tool makes instructors look like industry analysts—teeing up insights, talking points, and visuals to share with participants. After each round of the simulation, the automated debrief tools produce a report containing critical insights into the performance of each company. Instructors can use the information to craft their presentations or share the feedback with students directly within the simulation.
