    5.1 Creating Groups

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

    • Use the Instructor Dashboard to create a Group. 

      • Follow the on-screen directions to choose your Group settings — including the specific Project Scenario you want students to play.

      • 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.

      • Restaurant Franchise — In this simulation you will direct the development of a new restaurant within a franchise of health food restaurants. You will take the project from the initial renovation of an existing building through to the grand opening of the new restaurant. 

      • Smartwatch Spinout — In this simulation you will direct the launch of a spinout company that will manufacture a new smartwatch device. You will take the project from the registration of the new company to production and distribution of the s

    • Student progress is automatically saved online.

    • Students can quit and resume their progress at any time.

    • Students will automatically continue from where they stopped playing.

    • Groups settings provide instructors the option of allowing students to reset their Simulations. Resetting restarts a Simulation from the beginning — all progress for that Simulation in the specific Group is deleted (but has no effect on other Groups the student may be playing). Instructors can use the Dashboard to reset a student at any time, even if the student is not give the option to reset their own Simulation.

    8.1 Monitoring Student Progress & Performance

    • Student progress and performance are tracked automatically and detailed reports are instantly available on the Instructor Dashboard under Groups & Reports.

    • Instructors can view and compare summary results for all students in a Group. Clicking a student name displays a detailed Performance Report for the student.

    • Assessment is fully automated as described below.

    8.2 Grading

    To convert the GoVenture assessment into a course grade, compare the estimated hours required for each GoVenture activity to the total number of course hours, including homework. Then assign a grade percentage that reflects this proportion.

    • For example, if your course requires 60 total hours and one GoVenture Project Management scenario takes 3 hours, you might assign it at least 5% of the total course grade.

    • If a GoVenture activity carries more weight or importa
