For instructors & educators
Choose a pre-developed simulation, or work with an experiential instructional designer to create an experience shaped around your syllabus, curriculum expectations, and students.
Find the right approach ↓Designed from your learning objectives
Two ways to begin
Explore Verdant’s simulations and choose a scenario that supports your course. Consider the subject, level of challenge, student activities, and how the experience fits your teaching schedule.
Explore the simulation library ↗Partner with an experiential instructional designer to develop a simulation specifically for your course. We work from your learning objectives, curriculum expectations, instructional priorities, and the needs of your students.

Two nonprofits. One merger. Students take the role of integration lead for Harbor House and Northstar Outreach, bringing the organizations together without losing the people, community trust, or services that make them work.
This advanced, multiweek simulation connects change-management concepts to decisions about communication, roles, readiness, and service continuity.
Explore One Mission, Two Teams ↗Develop and justify an evidence-informed change approach that integrates two organizations while balancing stakeholder needs, staff capacity, and continuity of service.
From objective to evidence
One Mission, Two Teams illustrates how a simulation can connect a learning objective to an applied activity and evidence instructors can review.
| Learning objective | Applied practice | Evidence of learning |
|---|---|---|
| Analyze stakeholder needs | Explore staff and partner perspectives before selecting engagement actions. | Stakeholder analysis and a rationale grounded in the scenario. |
| Apply change-management concepts | Use ADKAR to distinguish awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement needs. | Diagnosis and a justified intervention, rather than a one-size-fits-all response. |
| Plan implementation responsibly | Balance the merger timeline with capacity, role clarity, and service handoffs. | Phase-based plans and portfolio deliverables. |
| Evaluate and adapt | Review consequences, identify gaps, and choose follow-up actions. | Evidence-based reflection and revised recommendations. |
This alignment describes the learning opportunities in the scenario. Assessment criteria and expectations should be matched to your course; instructors review the quality of student reasoning and submissions.
Designed with you
Define the concepts students need to apply, the decisions they should practice, and the evidence you need to assess. Shape the scenario, pacing, deliverables, and debrief around those goals.
Consider prior knowledge, course level, individual or team participation, available time, and accessibility needs. Build an experience with the right context, support, and challenge.
Let’s design your next learning experience
Share your syllabus, learning objectives, student audience, and teaching timeline. Together, we can identify a pre-developed simulation or scope a custom experience for your course.
