### 4.1.1 _Learner Managed_ — primarily for colleges, universities, nonprofits, and businesses

* Students create and manage their own personal login accounts.  
* Students create accounts with a **Subscription Key** — a 32 digit number that looks like this:  12345678-12345678-12345678-12345678.
    
* Students can purchase their own Subscription Keys or organizations can purchase them for students using any combination of these three options:
    
    *   Purchase keys individually or in bulk using a credit card or PayPal at <a href="https://buygoventure.com" target="_blank"_><u>BuyGoVenture.com</u></a>
        
    *   Buy with a Purchase Order using our Order Form at <a href="https://goventure.net/prices" target="_blank"_><u>GoVenture.net/prices</u></a>
        
    *   Sell through a bookstore — review the information at 
<a href="https://GoVenture.net/bookstore" target="_blank"_><u>GoVenture.net/bookstore</u></a>
        
* Give students the **Simulation Number** you want them to play and your **student roster** will build automatically as students join your Simulation. You do not have to input student names, emails, or any other information — it's all automated. However, if you want students to play in **teams**, you must create teams under EDIT > TEAMS in order to get the team Simulation numbers.

* When students join your Simulation Number, you will see their names under EDIT > TEAMS

### 4.1.2 _Instructor Managed_ — primarily for K-12 schools

* <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QGCCiaLWmBfc2ZclUqSmfiOcKCkyrx42bAsZ6_og8p4/edit#slide=id.g59ac4c4823_3_32" target="_blank"_><u>Use this Slide Deck</u></a> to introduce students to GoVenture — copy this content into your own course content and customize it to fit your approach.
    
*   Instructor Managed subscriptions do not require students to create full accounts on GoVenture. Students do not have to disclose personally-identifiable information. Instructors do not need to input a student roster.  
*  <b>Instructors create student accounts</b>. This can be done after you have copied a Simulation Scenario to play. This provides you with a menu of options for setting up and monitoring the Simulation Scenario.

*   Use the Instructor Dashboard to **create student accounts** under EDIT > TEAMS. One unique login account must be created for each student or each team of students to play the selected Simulation Scenario. You choose the USERNAME and PASSWORD for each — it is recommended to keep both simple and easy to spell.

*   The instructor provides the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and SIMULATION NUMBER to the student or team of students and directs them to log in to the GoVenture Leader website at **GoVentureLeader.com**. Note that this is _**not**_ the same website the instructor uses (PlayGoVenture.com).
