Business simulations have a reputation. They're for MBAs. They run for three hours. They require a specialist to facilitate and a significant line item in the programme budget. That reputation is overdue for an update — and we've built the update.
The Basics Catalogue: Simulation for Every Level
The Basics catalogue is a library of short-format simulations — each running between 15 and 45 minutes — designed for introductory courses, single-concept modules, and flipped classroom sessions where the simulation happens before the lecture, not after. Each exercise covers one business concept, clearly, without the overhead of a full multi-round scenario.
We now have 400 variants across the catalogue. That covers a broad range of business topics at levels appropriate for undergraduate programmes, community college courses, and professional development workshops. The goal was to make it possible for an instructor to find a simulation that fits their exact topic — not to adapt their course around the simulation that happens to exist.
Short format matters because it removes the main logistical barrier. A 20-minute simulation fits inside a standard 90-minute class session with room for instruction and discussion. There's no need to restructure a course or schedule a separate session. It becomes a teaching tool the same way a case study is — something you reach for when the concept needs more than a lecture slide.
Arabic Language Support
We've added full Arabic language support — interface and content — across the Basics catalogue. This reflects a straightforward observation: some of the fastest-growing business education markets are in the Arab world. Universities in the Gulf, Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan have been requesting this for some time, and the demand is not going away.
This is a full translation, not a toggle. The interface works right-to-left. The content is reviewed for cultural fit, not just linguistic accuracy. Instructors teaching in Arabic can now run a simulation in the same language as the rest of their course — which is, of course, how it should work.
The Starter Tier: Rigorous Pedagogy at an Accessible Price
We've introduced a starter access tier specifically designed for programmes with constrained budgets — undergraduate courses, pilot cohorts, institutions running their first simulation-based module. The price point is lower. The pedagogy is not.
Every exercise in the starter tier uses the same underlying platform, the same structured reflection tools, and the same instructor controls as the full catalogue. The limitation is scope, not quality. It's designed for programmes that want to run a genuine pilot before committing to a full implementation — or for courses that only need three or four exercises per year and shouldn't have to pay for a hundred.
Rigorous simulation-based learning shouldn't function as a premium add-on for programmes that can afford the full MBA infrastructure. It should be available as a default option for any instructor who wants to teach through experience, not just through content. These three updates — the expanded catalogue, Arabic support, and the starter tier — are built toward that.
