What your students do

Students trade individually on a live market floor: researching real tickers, building a portfolio, placing market and limit orders, and defending their thesis against the leaderboard. Risk, diversification, and market efficiency: experienced, not memorized.

Stock Exchange also fits: Personal Finance, Financial Literacy, Corporate Finance, Business Statistics, Financial Statement Analysis, Behavioral Finance. This kit is written for Finance & Investments; for those courses the simulation runs the same and you bring the syllabus.

The rhythm

The Stock Exchange is real-time: the market moves during the day, and the class leaderboard ranks portfolios continuously.

Every result feeds the class leaderboard, and a section can be connected to the Extrapoli Universe once the class is running, so ventures that finish a season go on the permanent record.

The 15-week curriculum

Sequenced fundamentals-first, so any prefix is a coherent course: run 4 weeks as a supplement, 6 as a module, or all 15 as the semester. Each week ships an eText, a decision brief tied to the live market, a discussion, and a quiz, and the final exam covers exactly the weeks you ran.

Setup takes an afternoon, not a semester

  1. 1 · Generate. Pick your course length in the Canvas Cartridge Generator and import the .imscc into Canvas, modules, assignments, quizzes, dates, all done.
  2. 2 · Invite. Create your section, put the join code on the syllabus. Students join free; when billing is enabled at your school, one $49/year pass covers every Extrapoli course they take.
  3. 3 · Teach. The market closes once a day at the tick hour you set (5 PM by default, Pacific); reports arrive with the lesson and the discussion prompt attached. The leaderboard settles every argument.
