How do I set up a simulation for my class?
Simulations offer an effective way to bring real-time, high-engagement learning right into your classroom.
Darden Business Publishing recognizes that various academic institutions handle the procurement of course materials differently. Some programs have a flat-fee structure, whereby all course materials are included, while other programs require students to purchase content themselves. Our website offers both options. See below to learn how to set up a Darden simulation for your class today.
Simulation Session: The course instructor or simulation administrator (Admin) initiates the simulation by reserving a simulation session. In the “Class Description” box, enter a unique alphanumeric identifier for each class of students. After completing the class description, select “Add to Cart.” If the Admin is paying for students’ user licenses, enter the number of licenses needed and select “Add to Cart.” If students will be purchasing their own licenses, simply enter the class description information, select “Add to Cart,” and complete the order. Once the order is processed, the Admin will receive an e-mail containing details of the simulation session and a purchase link to share with students.
User License: One user license is required for each student participating in the simulation. At the time the simulation session is created, the course instructor or simulation administrator (Admin) can purchase licenses for students or opt to have students purchase their own licenses before participating in the simulation.
How do I search for a product?
Use the Search box at the top of the page to search for a product by title, author, case number, date, or keyword. To broaden your results, include an asterisk to search on all derivations of a word. For example, searching on “Japan” will return texts that include “Japan,” whereas searching on “Japan*” will return texts that include both “Japan” and “Japanese.”
Once your initial search results appear, you may refine your search by using the filter or advanced search options on the right-hand side of the page.
Why are some cases labeled A, B, or C?
The A, B, or C appear in case titles if they are part of a series. Most cases are considered “standalone,” since they have only one decision point. The A, B, and C signify that there is more than one decision point in the series. Typically, when assigning a case series, an instructor will ask students to prepare the A case for class. The subsequent cases are then distributed in class as the discussion unfolds.
How do I browse the Darden Case Collection?
Go to the “Products” link found in the blue menu bar below the search field. From here, you may browse by New Products, Best Sellers, Categories, and Product Type.
