Chris Rider, Thomas C. Kinnear Professor and Associate Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, uses ViewPoint Simulations to facilitate a case study navigating Vail Resort's sustainability strategy with his executive MBA students. In this simulation, students write collaborative goals using publicly available ski industry statistics, climate data, and country-level cultural indices. They debate the merits of acquisitions and make decisions based on future company targets. Participants in this simulation assume roles such as Alicia Campero, Vail Resorts’ Vice President of Sustainability Strategy, and her team members to make strategic decisions about what the organization will do regarding climate change. This case is available for purchase through William Davidson Institute (WDI Publishing), and instructors now have the option to purchase the case companion simulation through ViewPoint Simulations.

Recent data shows a concerning drop in SAT and ACT scores, with average scores hitting their lowest levels in decades. Experts attribute this decline to pandemic-related disruptions, along with a growing number of colleges adopting test-optional policies. As more institutions move away from standardized testing, it's essential to rethink assessment models in higher education. The changing landscape of college admissions highlights the need for new, holistic approaches to evaluating student potential. Do you think the traditional model of SAT and ACT testing is still relevant in the modern world or should higher education be considering a new approach? #EducationTechnology #RemoteLearning #HigherEducation #InnovativeLearning #RemoteWork https://lnkd.in/gHRunK8V

Does sitting in a lecture hall for hours prepare students for a modern workforce full of new technology and a fast-paced environment? Nope. Does it prepare them for collaborative discussions using critical thinking skills to make decisions with a team? Absolutely not. Higher education should be about preparing students for what comes next after their education. Today’s employers are looking for graduates with the ability to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems in real time. These skills simply aren’t cultivated through passive, lecture-based learning. With the rapid change in technology and remote work, the workforce has transitioned immensely in the last few years. Higher education needs to keep up to make sure it can appropriately educate students after they graduate. We need to be preparing students for real-world scenarios. Unfortunately, lectures just aren’t doing the job anymore. ViewPoint Simulations is the future of education. With our innovative technology we are transforming the classroom into a more engaging and immersive environment. Learning will look different with ViewPoint. #EdTech #TraditionalLearning #OnlineLearning #EducationTechnology #LecturesAreBoring #ViewPointSimulations #InteractiveLearning

Maybe this sounds harsh, but lectures are boring... Traditional lectures were designed to present information for students as passive listeners who should be able to absorb and retain all the information. Now in the modern world, we have found that most students don’t retain information the same way, and that education needs to adapt. Lectures are designed for students to cram information in their brains. They are expected to take and pass tests with high and flying scores. But in the modern workforce, most employers don’t have you regularly taking tests. Although lectures are full of valuable information, the dull and passive approach can make it challenging for students to learn critical thinking or problem-solving skills which are essential for future success. The monotony of a lecture can make it challenging for students in higher education to stay focused and engaged. Here at ViewPoint Simulations, we have created a solution to create a more innovative learning environment for students in higher education. Our cutting-edge platform is set up to transform the way students learn through a more engaging learning environment. Traditional lectures are dead. The world is moving forward. Shouldn’t higher education do the same?
