Enhancing the Academic Experience

The Project Integration Management Simulation supplements a student's coursework with hands-on tools that allows them to put their classroom training to practice. Simulations help students improve their skills and reduce the potential for costly mistakes, while exposing them to a wide range of project scenarios they may encounter in the real world.

Who Should Consider This Version

This version is intended for instructors who want to leverage the latest advances in educational tools in their project management curriculum. Simulations offer significant advantages over traditional linear teaching methods (lectures, text book and case study review, memory based assessment), providing students rich multimedia experiences to master theoretical concepts.

How It Works

Double Masters simulations are offered via the web on demand and can be run whenever convenient for the student or instructor. This means there is no software to download or manage and the simulation can be accessed from any computer in the world, as long as there is Internet connectivity.

The process is simple and straightforward:

• An instructor will sponsor a session: a session ID and access code are generated in order to group students into a single online course
• The instructor defines the session duration: start and end date for student accessibility
• The students create a user account and register for the session identified by their instructor
• The students can only run the simulation during the established time constraints of the simulation

Registering for the simulation is easy. Instructors should have their students consult the Student Guide for detailed instructions.

Assessing Performance

Reports are provided that make it easy for instructors to track their students' simulation run results.

Key information reported includes:

• Complete list of decisions made
• Mail and documents read
• Schedule and budget data
• Final Earned Value Management metrics

The simulation provides each student with detailed feedback, using various metrics to gauge the effectiveness of his or her decisions. A Scorecard is available to both the student and instructor with a final score out of 100.

Note: PDUs are not available for the university version of Double Masters simulations.
