Marketplace Train-the-Trainers Workshops
To help current and new Marketplace adopters take full advantage of simulations
in the classroom, ILS holds a free training seminar for the university
instructors twice a year.
 |
|
| |
Dr.
Cadotte explains his teaching methods for simulation-based courses
to the instructors during a Train-The-Trainers workshop at
ILS. |
|
The objective of this seminar is to provide the instructors with
an in-depth understanding of the Marketplace simulator, as well
as ideas on how it can be most effectively built into the marketing
or business course.
We discuss various learning strategies and tactics that have proven
successful with other faculty. The workshop also allows you to share
ideas and experience with other educators.
|
 |
|
| Participants work as a team to develop their company goals and strategy. |
|
As a vehicle for tying the workshop together, participants play
several decision rounds in our most complex simulation exercise.
At strategic points along the way, we pause and discuss the pedagogical
options available to instructors and the pros and cons of each.
Dr. Cadotte (the author of Marketplace) leads the seminar, with
the help of the Marketplace development and support team.
