My company Fusion Learning Systems recently developed a branching simluation game for the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston.
From the white paper:
“SuperCEO was developed to accompany Bauer College’s undergraduate career management course. …One of the key objectives of the course is to help students understand not only what roles might be available to them, but how those roles fit together in a thriving business. Furthermore, Bauer College wants to do more than just describing, its goal is to give students the opportunity to experience it first-hand.
SuperCEO is a story-based branching simulation that immerses the student in the world of H.E.R.O.—Houston Extrahuman Resource Outfitters—a supplier of all things superhero. The student has landed the job of CEO and has 12 fiscal quarters to get the company flying strong and, with a little good management, ready to make a key acquisition.”
This. thing. is. amazing.
One of my first assignments when I joined the company about 2 years ago was to architect and develop GECCO, Fusion’s Global Engine for Custom Course Objects. GECCO is a run-time engine with specialized templates for a variety of instructional approaches. The Branching template used by SuperCEO is just one example of the many learning experiences offered by the engine. The creative solutions my co-workers have produced with the tool are simply amazing, and our customers testify to it.
So please, go check out the demo. The game takes about an hour* or you can view a 3-minute movie to see what it’s all about.
