MyStrategyExperience at Regent's University London
Students at Regent's University London using MyStrategyExperience have improved their analytical and decision-making skills, application of theory to real life and engagement and enthusiasm on the course.
Dr Eric Chan at Regent's University London is an advocate of experiential learning and the benefits it has for his students.
During this study, the students' feedback echoed Dr Chan's perceptions.
Students said:
“I grew more confident in my ability to make the right decisions."
"I felt so productive after doing it because it was so real, interesting and entertaining at the same time.”
"I felt prepared and more self-assured about the decisions my group had to make.”
As part of the study, students were asked about MyStrategyExperience:
• 100% would recommend MyStrategyExperience to the next group of students.
• 85% said it helped them feel more motivated on the course.
• 71% believed the simulation reinforced their theoretical understanding.
“(Students were) more analytical. They were more creative in their thinking. They were pausing to think before they replied to me.”

Key themes from the study are:
- MyStrategyExperience allows students to put the theory they have learned into practice, in a safe real-world environment, cementing their understanding.
- Students can develop a range of personal and social capabilities or skills including teamworking, communication, critical thinking, decision-making and presenting to a group.
- An increase in student engagement through the integration of digital simulation into a course.
