Quick Setup for Students

Here's what you need to know to quickly set up students:

  1. It is important for students to learn foundational concepts and terminology before playing the full Life & Money Simulation. Instructors can teach this content using their usual methodology or use the included GoVenture resources — Your Story Simulation and the eWorkbook. These two activities are self-directed and assessment is automated, making them easy to assign and grade. Direct students to log in to GoVenture and click the large orange question mark to access these resources. Students do not need a Group Number to access these two activities. However, providing a Group Number allows instructors to monitor student progress and assessment results.

  2. After students complete the activities described above, instructors can create a new Group for students to play the Life & Money Simulation. Instructors can optionally include the 10 Online Activities.

For step-by-step details, watch the video in section 5. Groups.
