Basic: Marketing Plan

  The first part of the example introduces you to the basic concepts involved in building a simulation with Excel and KDCalc. In this simple simulation, the learner makes two interrelated decisions that result in an outcome. You will see how to how to design a Learner Interface using Excel's formatting capabilities, design a simulation model that determines the outcome resulting from the learner decisions, and deliver feedback from a simulated mentor.

Intermediate: Marketing Plan and Test Data

  Simulations are by their nature open-ended and can have lots of different paths, which leads to the need for lots of testing. Using a few simple techniques, KDCalc can enable you to rapidly test your simulation with many different learner paths. This part of the example builds upon the previous one to show how to integrate rapid testing into your simulation.
