Collaborative learning for a truly global experience.
Our "multi-faculty" option for simulations allows you to bring together students and instructors from different classes, campuses, institutions, or networks — in the U.S. and internationally — for a shared simulation activity.
Expand your learning community
Because our simulations take place via an online platform, students do not have to be located in the same place or meet at the same time in order to engage in an experiential learning opportunity. Multi-faculty simulations are often used as learning tools to help:
- School districts wanting to engage hundreds of students from different secondary schools;
- Professors at the same institution seeking to integrate international relations and U.S. politics courses;
- Professors across disciplines collaborating to bring the unique perspectives of their students to bear on critical global issues; and
- Instructors around the world connecting in order to provide a truly international negotiation experience to their students.

Single-Faculty Simulation Options
Are you looking to use a simulation ONLY in the context of your classroom, independent of other instructors? Not a problem! The single-faculty option is the default setting when you complete your online simulation registration. For single-faculty use simply select a simulation from our catalog, complete a registration, and you're ready to go!
