ATLASA stock market simulator for your class
The best classroom simulator is one a professor does not have to babysit. ATLAS sets the challenge up with you, gives students a single link and shows you how the whole class used it.
Setup is done for you
You tell us the dates, the rules and the list of companies you want to allow. ATLAS prepares the challenge, creates the teams and sends the invitations, so the first class session starts with students already inside.
What it adds to a course
A live market gives a course something a slide cannot: a reason to come back every day. The ranking keeps the class working through the semester, and students apply valuation, risk and portfolio theory to prices that move in real time.
- Concepts from the syllabus applied to real companies
- A ranking that keeps motivation up for weeks
- Written reasons for every trade, usable in class discussion
What the professor sees
The instructor dashboard shows who logged in and for how long, which sections each student used, how each team decided, the team rankings and trades, the chats and the final reports. You can grade participation with real data instead of impressions.
Fitting it to your timeline
Challenges are usually run over a few weeks. The IE challenge, for example, ran for about two weeks, but the length is yours to set according to the course.
