This gives learners the opportunity to understand how all areas within a business are connected. The business areas covered include:

  • Sales and Marketing
  • Finance
  • Operations
  • R & D
  • Organisation
Control Tower

The Control Tower within SimVenture Evolution is the administration area for tutors and programme managers using the business simulation. In this area tutors are able to login, setup and manage activities for their learners.

Tutors and educators have complete control over what tasks or scenarios their learners are assigned within the business simulation. The Control Tower also provides educators and tutors with a wide range of reports as well as a leaderboard. This allows learner progress to be monitored and assessed in considerable detail simply.

The control tower in SimVenture Evolution is where educators and trainers can organise and monitor student learning in the business simulation.

“SimVenture Evolution provides a robust and realistic platform to integrate theory and practice, a crucial part of entrepreneurship education. Students explore what works and what doesn’t by working through the ‘fail-learn-redo’ cycle in a safe learning environment. The Control Tower feature also saves so much time. It allows tutors to organise student groups, check student progress, gather data and assess their progress with relative ease.“
