5. Groups
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.
- To allow students to play more than one Project Scenario, you must create a new Group for each Project Scenario.
- Follow the on-screen directions to choose your Group settings — including the specific Project Scenario you want students to play.
Students cannot play the Simulation until an instructor provides them with a Group Number — you must give students a Group Number. Students can log in to view the Tutorial Video, User Guide, and Book PDF before they receive a Group Number. This allows you to get students set up with their login accounts in advance of having them do a specific activity.
Instructors can play the Simulation as a student by clicking PLAY AS A STUDENT. It is highly recommended that instructors play GoVenture for a few minutes to experience the options available in the program.
5.2 Group Settings
When creating a Group, you must choose the Project Scenario for students to play.
To have students play a different Project Scenario, create a new Group. You to control when students are allowed to move from one Project Scenario to the other by witholding the Group numbers until you are ready for them to play.
When creating a Group, various options may be available.
