For Wharton Faculty

The Alfred P. West, Jr. Learning Lab helps Wharton educators develop and build online simulations and pedagogical devices personally tailored to their courses and needs.

Do you have a case study that could be formatted into an immersive learning simulation, or an entirely original idea that would help you teach complex business concepts to your classes?

Do you want to provide students with real world practice without the associated real-world risks?

Submit a proposal to the Learning Lab.

After proposal deadlines have passed, the Alfred West Learning Lab Committee selects proposed projects that would best cultivate academic experimentation and engagement. Faculty members have an active role in the design process, which commences after the committee makes its selections.

More about Proposals

Schedule a run of a pre-existing Learning Lab Application.

To schedule the use of a simulation, please contact the Learning Lab with your name, the course that you teach, and a tentative date.
