    4.1 Creating Groups

    • For students to begin playing the Simulation, the instructor must create a Group. Groups allow you to keep student performance results organized by class, school, region, or any other grouping that you prefer. Students can join multiple groups.

    • Use the Instructor Dashboard to create a Group. Instructors have the option to focus students on specific activities.

      • Follow the on-screen directions to choose your Group settings.

      • Copy and share the 7-digit Group number with your students. Students will join your Group and be able to play the Simulation. Instructors can also use the Group Number to play as a student.

      • When students join your Group number, they will automatically appear on your Instructor Dashboard. Rostering is automated so you do not have to input student names or other information.

    • Students cannot play the Simulation until an instructor provides them wit

    5.1 Microlearning Modules

    • Microlearning Modules are designed to teach students fundamental concepts and terminology. This saves instructors from having to lecture on these topics or provide other resources like textbooks.

    • The entire set of 145 microlearning modules includes nearly 5 hours of video plus 2 hours of review and quizzes. The same content is included in the Business Superhero Book (PDF).

    • Instructors can choose which modules to include and mark them as optional or required. Each module is only a few minutes in duration, ending with 2 to 5 multiple-choice quiz questions. Assessment is automated. Students earn 1 star for completing a microlearning module with 1 mistake made on the quiz questions for that module, or 2 stars if no mistakes made. 0 stars are earned otherwise.  2 stars are scored with 1 point while 1 star is 0.7 points.

    • Instructors can monitor student progress and performance on the Instructor Dashboard (Website).

    GoVenture Entrepreneur is designed for each student to play on their own, but team play and collaboration can be added using the methods below.

    • If students are physically together, they can use one device to play together using one student account login. GoVenture treats them as one player. Teams of 2 or 3 are manageable in this way. A video conferencing app with screen sharing enables students on the same team to play remotely.

    • If students are at a distance or together, instructors can assign students to teams and grade students based on both their individual and combined team results. This encourages students to help each other to improve their collective performance, while maintaining individual student responsibility for their own personal performance and participation requirements. This same approach can be used for an entire class where a portion of a final grade can be based on the combined results of the entire cl
