"The students were engaged from the start and learned very quickly. My goal was to immerse the students in the 'world' of a small business owner to experience the need for monitoring key elements of the business and quick informed decision making. The ramifications of each decision played out in front of them providing immediate feedback and the need for more decision making. My experiential learning goal was achieved. I consider it a big success."

"We are extremely happy with student engagement in the simulation and also the holistic understanding of accounting and business process that students have gained.They really enjoyed participating in the simulation and they report how much they have learnt. We found the simulation easy to set-up and run. The platform is extremely robust without any difficulties."

"The MonsoonSIM is appropriate across a wide range of programs and courses.
It has the ability to provide the students with the performance data for them to analyze and use their analytic skills to dertermine appropriate business strategies. I have been looking for a tool that helps demonstrate the integration of ERP systems, and MonsoonSim provides this."

"The potential value to my students is immense. I have never seen a more complete or realistic simulation. The integration of gamification with teams efforts stimulates
the kind of thinking and soft skills that could make a difference in inspiring my students."

"The intensity of the game, and the digital nature of the game allows them to consider and test the application of their hypotheses or other theories, instead of just absorbing them."
Dr. Ma Nang Laik

"According to student feedback, most prefer the experiential learning mode over traditional lectures as it allows them to understand the complexity in business operations using an interactive approach."
