Undergraduate (BSc, BBA):
Laying the Foundations and Igniting Curiosity

  • Marketing Modules: Integrate Novela digital marketing simulations to give students a hands-on experience in applying marketing principles, consumer psychology, and market segmentation strategies in real-world scenarios with real-world data. Our challenges are all based on the experiences of senior digital marketers at companies including Burberry and Estée Lauder.
     

  • Business Analytics: Use Novela's data-driven simulations to teach students how to interpret and act on marketing analytics, enhancing their decision-making skills. Our dashboards are used by professors to bring dynamic analytics data to the classroom, encouraging students to make decisions and optimize campaigns. 
     

  • Business & Entrepreneurship: Incorporate Novela simulations into business modules to help students understand the role of strategic marketing in startup success. Our simulations provide practical insights into identifying market opportunities, understanding customer needs, and crafting compelling value propositions.
     

  • Hult International Business School uses Novela simulations in marketing, analytics, and entrepreneurship classes as part of the BBA program. This has led to improved student performance in post-simulation evaluations and very positive student feedback. As one student said, "I just wish more of our classes were like this!"

How Novela Fits into Your Syllabus

​

Novela's simulations are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for easy integration into existing curricula. Each simulation covers essential marketing concepts, such as the 7 P's of marketing, consumer psychology, segmentation, targeting, positioning (STP), digital marketing strategies, and analytics.

​

A Novela user license provides the student with unlimited access to the chosen Search Marketing or Social Media simulation. This open discovery is critical for self-directed learning and improvement. Our AI feedback guides the user towards the learning outcomes, a key advantage over other marketing simulations.

​

What's more, Novela requires minimal preparation time for professors - it's a "win-win", as one of our MSc educators said! We'll provide teaching notes, lesson plans, in-class guides, and full technical support for the duration of your classes. 

 

Educators can use Novela to:
 

  • Complement Theoretical Lessons: Use marketing simulations to reinforce theoretical concepts, providing practical examples and applications.
     

  • Assess Students' Knowledge Retention: Employ simulations as a form of assessment, evaluating students' ability to apply marketing concepts in realistic scenarios. In the AI and ChatGPT age, our educators are finding this increasingly appealing!
     

  • Enhance Individual Learning Paths: Allow students to explore specific areas of interest or delve deeper into complex marketing strategies. This personalized approach supports varied learning styles and paces, ensuring each student can maximize their potential.
