A PART OF SURVEY

CANADA SLOVACCHIA SPAGNA MACEDONIA POLONIA

1)What is the impact of a simulation for student learning

rather than other methods?

This is a personal feeling but I would say “motivation”.

The simulation makes students active in their

learning.

Simulation applies experiences of student to reality. They often know

theory, every paragraph of acts, definitions and other

characteristic, but if they have to fill e. g. invoice, there is a problem,

they train communication skills especially with their colleagues.

They train also their presentation skills and many other…

Experiental learning, more active and autonomous, the instructor is

just a moderator o facilitator in the learning process, it is more fun and their motivation is also higher.

I have conducted a survey at the end of the VC course and the students prefer it

over rather theoretical lectures/courses

The impact is huge and the benefits to the students are obvious. In our

practice firm (which is a virtual business consulting firm) the

students not only simulate the administrative functions of a

company (accounting, personal issues, promotional activities), but

also can participate in real-life business consulting projects (for real-life companies). Thanks to it, the students have much deeper touch with business practice, as

compared to other teaching methods.

Summary

• Virtual enterprise are able to teach more than the lecture lessons.

• Students are enjoyng this kind of innovative educational system.

• Mix between theory and practical knowledges.

• Deep and new communication skills.
