## 2.2 Setup Tutorial for Instructors

Watch this video to review GoVenture Leader for instructors and facilitators. Step-by-step directions of what you see in this video are included further in this document.

**NEW** — The setup process has _Basic_ and _Advanced_ options. _Basic_ is easier to set up, while _Advanced_ gives more precise control. The video below only shows the _Advanced_ option.  The _Edit_ menu option has also been removed with all edit options now under _Facilitate_.

**Student & Team Accounts**
<br>
- _Learner Managed Subscription_ — Students will create their own login accounts for GoVenture and they will appear in your instructor dashboard when they join the Simulation Number you provide them. If you want students to play individually (against each other), give them your Simulation Number and all students will join the same one. If you want students to play in teams (rather than individually), you must create  Simulation Numbers, one for each team, under EDIT > TEAMS.  Students log in at PlayGoVenture.com — the same website used by the instructor.
<br><br>
- _Instructor Managed Subscription_ — The instructor has to create student login accounts under EDIT > TEAMS. Each team login created can be used by one student or shared by multiple students on the same team. Students must be provided their username, password, and Simulation Number then directed to log in and play at GoVentureLeader.com — note that this is <b><i>not</b></i> the same URL as the instructor uses.

See <i>Section 4</i> to learn about Student Accounts and automatic rostering.
