"Probably one of the nicest ‘surprise’ opportunities provided by this type of ‘live action’ learning is the way subtle cues to human interaction can be introduced and then pointed out. Such relational IQ opportunities are very difficult to create in the typical class / text setting. While valuable in the domestic scene these are, of course, worth gold in the international business realm."

Ultimate Undergraduate

The Ultimate V-Learning™ Undergraduate Courseware generally replaces the traditional printed textbook. It features an interactive, immersive learning experience that simulates a realistic corporate executive internship. The courseware includes a wide range of assignments including readings, videos, podcasts, professional career resources and tools.

A self-assessment program is integrated throughout the corporate experience, helping students prepare for the classroom teaching, mentoring and coaching by their professor.

The built-in Dashboard allows professors to track student participation, progress and performance in real time and provides solid data for easy and accurate grading.

Professor Resources: to assist with lectures, class discussions and testing, professors are provided direct links to dozens of video scenes, assignments and assessment questions taken right from the students’ corporate experience.

Professors are also provided easy-to-edit syllabi, schedule templates and a Day-by-Day Guide they can modify to suit personal teaching styles.

Undergraduates can now participate in an immersive 3D learning environment instead of, or in addition to, using the traditional textbook. The new Ultimate Undergraduate Courseware complements traditional in-class lectures by providing students with an ‘on the job’ experiential learning simulation. Everyone learns best by doing. Now, undergraduates can experience advanced 3D simulations as they immerse themselves within a virtual company, interact with avatar colleagues, and learn by participating in dynamic real ‘business world’ scenarios.

VLC’s goal is to help professors make learning fun, relevant and sticky! As participants progress through their Ultimate Undergraduate Course, they create a ‘real history,’ enabling them to later draw from the virtual experience and make better decisions and positive contributions within their workplace. It is powerful courseware offering students the ‘ultimate’ opportunity to learn rigorous business curriculum in an enjoyable format while obtaining a virtual internship experience at the same time.

The 3-credit hour Ultimate V-Learning Undergraduate Courses are affordably priced at only $150 per student, per semester, less than the price of many traditional textbooks. In addition to the core content and self-assessments, professors are provided valuable resources, dashboard tools and support to help them teach their class utilizing the interactive 3D learning environment.
