You control every step
You open turns, approve events, review scores, release the leaderboard, and issue certificates; each step requires your explicit action.
Custom sim in under 5 minutes
Upload your assessment brief or module handbook. AI builds the simulation from it. You review, edit, and run. No coding, no vendor calls.
Not a tool you add to your module. A transformation of how students learn.
SPPIN Sim shifts the classroom from passive delivery to active, data-driven, real-time engagement — the same shift happening in every professional environment your students are entering.
Real-time decision making
A live countdown runs on every student screen simultaneously. Teams analyse KPIs, debate options, and commit to a decision under real time pressure — the same pressure they'll face on day one of a professional role.
Structured communication
Teams must reach consensus before submitting. Every submission includes a written rationale. Students who default to silence quickly learn: the round closes whether they contributed or not.
Engagement that sustains
A live leaderboard, world events with real business stakes, and visible KPI movement create genuine stakes in the room. Students are engaged because the consequences are real — not because they're told to be.
Evidence of learning
Every turn produces a data trail: KPI scores, decision logs, written rationales, peer scores, rubric grades. You get richer assessment evidence than any essay or exam — and so does every student.
What this looks like in practice
A tutor at a UK business school runs a Supply Chain simulation across a 12-week module. Each week, teams respond to a new world event. By week 4, students are referencing KPI trends from previous turns in their written rationales. By week 8, the debrief discussion runs itself — students are critiquing each other's strategy without prompting. By week 12, every student has a decision log they can walk an employer through, turn by turn. That is the digital transformation.
Exactly what you control, step by step
The tutor dashboard walks you through the entire simulation lifecycle. Nothing happens without your action.
Create a run in 2 minutes
Log in to your tutor dashboard. Choose a module (or upload your own). Set the number of teams, turn duration, and whether you want live or async mode. Hit create; the platform generates team codes and PINs instantly.
Approve world events before students see them
Before each turn, the platform generates AI world events from real news. You see them first. Approve the ones that fit your learning objectives, reject the ones that don't. Students only see what you release.
Open the turn, you control the pace
Click 'Open turn'. The countdown timer starts on every student screen simultaneously. You can extend time, pause, or close the turn early from your dashboard. When time expires, submissions lock automatically.
Review scores before revealing
After the turn closes, you see all team KPI scores and decision logs before students do. You can review, add tutor notes, and choose when to release the leaderboard; immediately for live drama, or after discussion.
Grade with rubric criteria
Open the grades panel. Each team's decisions, rationale, and KPI scores are laid out against your rubric criteria. Grade criterion by criterion, add written feedback, and export a grade sheet.
Release certificates when you're ready
Once grading is complete, award badges and release personalised certificates of completion. Students download their own certificate from the student portal. You can also bulk-download all certificates as a ZIP.
Build a simulation from your assessment brief in under 5 minutes
Upload your module handbook, assessment brief, or case study PDF. AI reads it and extracts learning outcomes, decision areas, KPIs, and event categories. You review and edit on screen; then run. No vendor call. No bespoke development. No waiting.
See how the custom builder works →Fits any delivery format
One platform. Six ways to run it; from a 90-minute lecture to a full academic year.
90-min live workshop
3 turns
Students join, compete, debrief; all in a single lecture. No prep beyond creating the run the day before.
3-week course
6–9 turns
One session per week. Same teams carry through. Debrief discussion builds week-on-week as strategies diverge.
6-week programme
12+ turns
Two turn sessions per week. Assessment at the end includes simulation scores and rubric grades.
12-week semester
24 turns
Full arc: peer assessment, multi-week teams, rubric grading, certificates. Maps to professional body frameworks.
Executive programme
6–12 turns
1–2 day intensive. Small cohorts, high-complexity decisions, live leaderboard on screen at the front.
Async online course
Any
No countdown timer. Students submit decisions at their own pace. Tutor closes turns manually. Works across time zones.
Learning best practice — built into every run
Each of the six learning design principles is delivered by a specific simulation feature — not a philosophy applied after the fact, but a mechanism built into the platform from the start.
Active Blended Learning
Timer-based rounds + async modeRun live in the lecture theatre with a countdown timer, or turn off the timer for async delivery across time zones. The same simulation works in-person, hybrid, and fully online without reconfiguration.
Reflective & Critical Learning
Decision rationale log + post-round debriefEvery team submits a written rationale with each decision. After the turn closes, the debrief panel shows what each team chose and why. Students critique their own strategy using the KPI data — not the lecturer's opinion.
Inclusive & Authentic Assessment
Auto-generated rubric + per-turn evidenceRubric criteria are mapped to your module's learning outcomes and generated automatically. Assessment evidence comes from real decisions under pressure — not recall. Works across UG, PG, MBA, and CPD cohorts.
Sustainability & Digital Transformation
UN SDG tracking + ESG world eventsEvery simulation module tracks a Sustainability KPI. World events include ESG mandates, carbon pricing, DEI policy changes, and digital disruption scenarios. Management knowledge for a sustainable future, woven into every run.
Collaborative Curriculum Development
Shared modules + custom sim builderSimulations built from your assessment brief can be shared across your department. Co-develop tracks with colleagues across programmes and partner institutions. One simulation, many cohorts — collaborative curriculum made simple.
Continuous Improvement in Outcomes
Cohort analytics + run historyEvery run generates per-team KPI scores, decision logs, and rubric grades. Compare cohort performance across semesters. Use the evidence to refine your learning design — turn by turn, year by year.
