Case Study - Business Simulations at London Met

WHY DID YOU CONSIDER USING Business SIMULATIONS?

“We were under a curriculum review at the time, and we were very much inclined to provide students with an active learning experience, experiential learning so students can apply the theories they’ve learned and work in teams to do so."

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE EDUMUNDO?

"Their team and their flexibility to adapt and tailor the simulation to our module and the types of students we had enrolled. The simulation also fitted in very well with our experiential learning strategy.”

Did the simulation meet the desired learning outcomes?

“Absolutely. Every module has at least 3 or 4 learning objectives, and we linked the simulation to our module assessment.”

How Were Students Assessed On The Module?

“Students work in teams but they have to keep an individual log of the decisions they took in the various roles they undertook throughout the simulation rounds. At the end they write a group report, reflecting on what they’ve learned and what theories they applied throughout the simulation.”

What Feedback Have You Received From Your Students?

“Over the last five years, student feedback has been really positive! One student said to me: 'It seemed like I’m running my own business. It’s real decision-making!' Students feel like they’re making a real-life decision in a real-life market and they do feel responsible for the decisions they make. The competitive environment of the simulation gets them into an active learning mentality.”
