2.2.2 Course Information

You can save some typing by selecting the information from a previous course. Otherwise, the Setup Wizard will help you quickly enter the needed information, which includes school name, campus location and course level. We also ask for the approximate number of participants and approximate start and stop time.

Exact participant count and course dates are not required.

2.2.3 Edition

Capstone is designed for more advanced participants. Foundation is designed for beginning participants, or for courses with limited time resources (see 1.1 Editions).

2.2.4 Additional Materials

Comp-XM

The Comp-XM Competency Exam will help demonstrate your participants' level of knowledge. Comp-XM can also be an effective resource for accreditation purposes. There is an extra fee for Comp-XM.

E-Texts

Adobe® Acrobat® PDF Textbooks tailored to Capstone and Foundation are available. Students will need to download these from our website. There is an extra fee for E-Texts.

2.2.5 Team Member Guides

Participants can quickly learn about the simulation via our color Team Member Guides. There are no additional fees for the Guides. Guides are available via three methods.

Send Guides to You

This method allows instructors to hand the Guides out in class. The Guides include registration information, the simulation documentation and an industry situation analysis which optionally can be done as an in-class assignment prior to participant registration.

This method requires participants to pay online with a credit card (checking account routing numbers can also be used if the bank is located in the United States).

Ship to Bookstore

Instructors can also have bookstores order the Guides. Guides sent to bookstores include a registration number that is entered by the participant into the Capsim website. This saves the trouble of receiving and bringing books to class. However, the bookstore will mark up the price. To order, bookstores in the U.S. or Canada should call 877-477-8787; all others call 1-847-501-2888.

Schools can also directly purchase registration numbers. To order from the U.S. or Canada, please call 877-477-8787; all others please call 1-847-501-2888.

Download Materials from Website

Adobe® Acrobat® PDF and HTML versions of the Guides are also available to instructors and participants. This is perfect for online courses.
