GBMy students continually have problems… My students continually have problems logging in - the platform keeps them looping and looping and kicks them out. My other issue is with the guided notes. There are numerous inconsistencies between the instructor's version and the student's version - different questions, not in the same order, etc. Someone needs to go through each of those to verify they have the same content. I would also like the most up-to-date information. Social media has definitely changed since in the past five years, and some of the statistics are out of date. I am currently in the process of searching for a new platform to teach the class.

GBSupport team and sims Customer support team is fantastic! Always helpful!! Grading of the simulations seems a little off. Not sure how accurate the grades are on Mimic Social and the new Sports sim? Is it grading the responses from the emails; like in the Advertising sim? Overall, love your products! So valuable for my students and reinforces my content learned in class. Would love to see an Advertising book for high school level students.

GBI really prefer this program over the… I really prefer this program over the other budgeting activities I have done. It is the most real-world program I have used and it throws in the unexpected, which parallels real-life. The students enjoy it. Further, I am not a tech-savvy teacher. Their support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

GBThe Mimic Social Simulation updates are… The Mimic Social Simulation updates are amazing! I appreciate how rounds are broken into categories, budgets are changed accordingly, and students get a real-world view of being a social media marketing manager. I am disappointed with the instructor provided content. The PowerPoint slides are filled with typos and grammar errors and there is no consistency in formatting. If I want to use parts of these slides, I have to completely rebuild each chapter. The test banks contain all questions already provided in the quizzes, have no application questions, and do not use Blooms taxonomy to scale for higher level thinking. Stukent is on the right track with their materials and they can easily be updated to be more useful for faculty.

GBI LOVED the previous Stukent format… I LOVED the previous Stukent format with posting and analytics rounds. I used it for two years and can't say enough how awesome it was! For high school students, the analytics rounds were where they truly gained the insights they needed to improve. The new version has no analytics rounds and I am incredibly disappointed. Please add the analytics rounds back in. High school students have no way to dive into social media analytics other than this tool. While students can still simulate posting, without forcing them to examine the analytics they quite simply won't likely do it on their own.
