SimVenture Evolution: Staff Guides
SimVenture Evolution is online business simulation software. The main areas of business covered within the simulation are: Sales & Marketing, Finance, Research & Development, Operations, and Organisation. Staff can create simulations that can be played by individual students or teams. Staff can also define if simulations engage students to collaborate or compete.
Please Note
If you would like to use Evolution in the current academic year, additional licences can be purchased, however the cost of these are not covered by a central budget and you would need to secure funding for these from within your department.
Every student requires a licence, and costs are dependent on the number of licences required and the length of time the simulation will run. In AY2024/25, a 4-month simulation would be charged at £60 per student (this includes the instructor licence and a one hour orientation session for the instructor with a SimVenture Learning and Development Manager).
If you would like to explore the use of Evolution, please raise a ticket via IT Services.
Note that Evolution does not have an integration with Minerva, and staff manage their simulations via the SimVenture Control Tower and share them through the use of links.
