About Boardroom Rivals
Boardroom Rivals is a business simulation platform for college courses: ten simulations where student teams run competing companies in the same market.
Professors choose the simulation that fits the course, set the schedule and grade from a built-in gradebook. Five weeks is the recommended length; 8- and 14-week formats fit a full semester, and the continuous-operations simulations stretch to 16 weeks.
Classes connect to Canvas through LTI 1.3, and grades publish to Canvas in one click.

Who built it
Boardroom Rivals was built by Jeff Forgrave, a professor at Marian University in Indianapolis. He spent 16 years in corporate America and 10 years building and running his own businesses, and built the platform to close the gap between knowing something and being able to do something with it.
Boardroom Rivals was previously called Vanguard SIM. Links to vanguardsim.com still work.
