DSMs help students come prepared to class, encourage them to study, and provide them a safe space to make mistakes and prepare for their exams efficiently. Using a highly personalized, algorithmically driven process, DSMs continuously assess student performance and provide additional practice in areas where learners struggle the most. This tool promotes fast learning and long-term retention of course concepts.

Mini-Sims are short simulations that put students in business roles and give them the opportunity to apply course concepts as they make decisions. Students begin by making a series of decisions to better understand and apply course concepts. The Mini-Sim then changes, branching and creating various scenario paths based on the answers given. This provides students with a personalized learning experience and the opportunity to build and develop their critical thinking skills. This edition also includes 28 new Communication Mini-Sims which place students in real-world communication scenarios across digital, social, and other written media. These Communication Mini-Sims let students edit and improve their business writing in an interactive, step-by-step format.

Learning Catalytics is an interactive student response tool that encourages team-based learning by using students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in interactive tasks and thinking. As an instructor, you can pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills, while monitoring responses with real-time analytics to find out where they’re struggling. With this information, you can adjust your instructional strategy in real time and try additional ways of engaging your students during class.
