The Dark Side of the Moon
My Story
• PhD or else?• Setup Yellow Sequoia to further the use
of simulations in entrepreneurship education
What is the Dark Side
• Every start up story is, “If only I knew then what I know now.”
• Most teaching resources keep the student on the ‘light’ side.
• The unknown presents the problem. How do you teach the ‘dark’ side?
• We know about letting them learn from failure.
Can you learn diving?
• From a book• From the side of the
pool• Just by observation
• How do you coach an Olympic diver?
ENTER : SIMULATIONS
What can simulations do
• Help deliver experiential learning of the level desired by the student.
• Does not disrupt your academic processes.
• Help both you and the student to navigate the unknown.
Oh one more thingHave you ever seen someone play a game
Self Efficacy
• They yell, get excited, they pump their fist.
• There is an emotional connection.• These emotions can be harnessed in
class to build their confidence.• Timing – ability to make decisions at the
right time requires emotional maturity
What is a simulation?
• It is a case study with the participants on the inside.
• All games are simulations, however all simulations cannot be used for teaching.
