Dynamic Study Modules (DSMs)

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

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.
