Professor Perks

Visual data Dashboards

Dashboards provide insights into how students are playing, including trends over time and decisions made. Detailed graphs show how teams are performing against their peers. 


Push Notifications

Alert your students about game playing issues such as bottlenecks, cash shortages, or inventory concerns. You can also use push notifications to remind your students about important deadlines or a change in the syllabus.


ABILITY to Game Parameters

Manual vs Automatic: Choose if you want the game to advance automatically on the hour, or manually advance the simulation yourself playing and pausing only during classroom hours for example. 

Custom Scenarios:  You can choose from standard game playing levels easy, medium, or hard. If one of those three options doesn't fit your needs, you can create your own custom scenario and focus on the operational concepts that fit your class best.
