There are more than 1000 models to explore!  

I have been impressed with Wincton City. The Wincton City resource had been presented by Beverly Leeds and Karl Robert Lester. It “has been created for you by the Universities of Central Lancashire, Northumbria and Winchester with funding provided by the Higher Education Academy. It is a web-based learning resource modelled on a real UK high street community provided for  academic staff and students or others to use. It aims to meet the needs of a range of subject areas in Business Education by simulating the complexities of modern organisations within local communities with many interdependent and inter-related functions and processes.” Cheryl Gordon make a brilliant exposition on how to use Wincton City with students in retail field.  Mohammed Seedat presented his approach to grab students interests with some creative projects such as See My Culture .  Lynn Vos showed the importance of simulation in Business and Marketing education. Beverly Leeds  presented some important aspects about Open Education Resources and a big list of sources.
