SimGate Studio's Built-in Scoring Model Allows you to Easily Calibrate Scoring From a Central Data Dashboard
Our tool gives you the flexibility to create a scoring model that meets your learning objectives and provides the feedback your learners need.
BENEFITS:
One Convenient View
See the entire scoring and impacts across the entire simulation
Calibrate Data & Impact
Easy and fast to design and build scoring throughout your project
For every activity, decision, action, or assessment question, see what data is being captured and define how it can be used to increase or decrease impacts
Key Performance Indicators
Define overall metrics (scorecard) participants try to optimize as they progress through the sim
Connect to Feedback Reports
Participants can see how their decisions impact the scores
Facilitators gain insights into participant decision-making patterns
WHY KEEP SCORE?
METRICS = WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO MEASURE?
Must define your scoring criteria - These criteria are most often, but not limited to: skills, behaviors, frameworks, KPIs (key performance areas), mindset shifts, and/or stakeholder impacts. Within the scoring model, we call these metrics.
Metric = Individual Scored Category
Skills, Behaviors, (KPIs)
Rollup Metric = Top-Level Category that combines the scores of individual metrics
Win Metric or Aggregate Round Score - 80 pts
Round over round, cumulative
TIP: It is SO important to be thinking about scoring from the very beginning when creating your sim - it’s not an afterthought!
Doing this will help you plan your scenario options, the metrics you will score, the type of feedback, the style of reports - and so much more!
ASSIGNING VALUES = WHAT IS THE SCORE OR DEGREE OF IMPACT?
Each activity answer choice needs an assigned value that directly links your pre-defined scoring metric and its score or degree of impact on participant decisions.
Aggregate Scoring = additive, right/wrong
Ex. 1+1+1 = 3
Impact Scoring = Degree of impact across multiple metrics, No right answer or Good/Better/Best
Ex. Customer Satisfaction, Revenue, Employee Engagement, etc.
No matter which scoring option you choose, you have the flexibility to create a rich learning environment that provides customized feedback, personalized recommendations, competitive dynamics, and a fully adaptive learning experience.
Keep scoring simple! You’ll thank yourself later :)
When possible, we suggest +/- 5 points or less
Ex. If the positive impact is high - they get a 5, and if the impact is still positive but minor/medium maybe a 1 or 2 or 3.
And if something has a negative impact, the same idea. Detrimental = -5.
BEST PRACTICE: Map your metrics, criteria, and values to your answer choices BEFORE you start entering them into the SimGate platform. A simple spreadsheet does the trick!
