The project is expected to be an important element of a chain of projects which aim to establish a virtual training environment for SMEs. The current project focuses particularly on one major group: adults who do not have a strong economic- and business educational background, and the goal is to provide them with further education in these fields. These students may need different learning content and varied pedagogical approaches, which is ensured by the various e-learning tools the project provides.

In this post, we are going to delve deeper into one of the more advanced features of the Cesim Instructor platform: the Case Customization Manager. If you ever wanted to change the parameters or the story of a Cesim business simulation, this is the place to do it. With some neat new options added in our latest release, you can now do a whole lot more to make your case unique. Whether you are a novice or advanced simulations user, modifying a default case might seem daunting at first, so we've put together a walk through of how to create a custom case for your course in 5 easy steps.
