Collaboration is part of the cultural DNA of academia. We share research, resources, people and ideas. This DNA creates a solid foundation for the sort of initiatives that evolve into Collaborative Online International Learning, or COIL for short. COIL is like the collaborations of old but with a...
Participants from 11 different countries and 23 different academic institutions (and one competitor company) joined us on Wednesday for a Gameplay event. Edumundo has previously done Game-Play events with similar formats but this time was a little different.

This is discussed through the prism of using business simulations for teaching business related subjects at university...
1) How are you going to use business simulations to create a coherent offer? The simulations are not a standalone project. They become the centre and not an addon. The purpose is to create a strand of experiential learning from the foundation level up to masters level. This creates a coherence in...
Most university courses operate with a modular system. This is to give students more flexibility and some would argue, lighten the workload of module conveners. This, however, creates challenges for program leaders wanting to embed cross-modular learning that appeals to a wider student audience....
Students have been searching the web for answers to academic questions since the advent of the search bar. People started asking their phones, their kitchens and anything with a microphone and an assistant for answers to the questions we sought. It was rather unlikely that a smartphone assistant...
"The good thing about the simulation is that it makes reference to some of the core management concepts, as well so it's not giving something alien to them, it's structurally aligned to their learning." Dr. Dane Anderton December's MBA webinar with guest speaker,Dr. Dane Anderton, Senior Lecturer...
Beyond the Bottom Line Those in business education probably know that “the bottom line” is a phrase borrowed from accounting. In one way or another every business decision leads to an impact that affects the bottom line. It means that after all the inflow and outflows are accounted for the bottom...
Understanding that when students are engaged in learning and are using learning tools that enhance that engagement, they are leaving classrooms with knowledge and skills that create a well-rounded student who is far better prepared and more confident and capable of entering the workforce. Going to...
Looking for the Laboratory When it comes to improving student engagement, social sciences and humanities are at a disadvantage. Natural sciences, engineering, arts and computer science courses usually have time specifically timetabled for practical application of theory. In business-related...

Dr. Vincent Rich, Principal Lecturer, University of Westminster Earlier this year the Financial Times wrote about...
"Students tend to develop a lot of skills through the application of theoretical elements in the simulation."
"This is the right time to teach students that these "Goals" are often at odds with one another, as well as how private firms are contributing to meeting them. It's important for students to identify how to develop a number of pathways for firms to contribute positively to these Goals through their...

"Whatever companies think they can and can't do, these are real challenges that relate to what companies do. The question is how they are able to influence the pace of transition through breakthrough and systemic innovations to meet very specific targets whilst ensuring negative trade-offs do not...
"I think tourism policy and tourism management ideas and theories will change over the next 20 years but the ability to use philosophical systems of thought as required, as almost tools in a toolbox, I think is incredible. And that's something that I think the business simulation allows you to do."...
