Choose the simulation that fits your course
Hubro has 10 simulations covering finance and accounting, management, marketing and sustainability. Each one is built around a course rather than a discipline, which makes it easier to pick the right one to match your syllabus. Explore them all in your account, or tell us what you teach and we'll point you to the best simulation for your course.

Customize the schedule and settings
After selecting your simulation, you have the option to customize the duration, mode of play, schedule of content and more.
If your institution is already connected to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard or Brightspace, just add the simulation to your course to give your students access. If not, a one-time setup between our team and your LMS administrator grants access to your entire organization.

Invite your students with a single link
Share a registration link with the class, or let students open the simulation straight from your LMS. They create accounts, form groups and learn the interface through built-in tutorials and practice simulations, so class time goes to strategy instead of software questions.
Recommended group size is one to three students, with no cap on class size.

Start the first round
Launch the simulation with the click of a button, then follow every group live from your dashboard. You set the pace of progression to suit your course.
When rounds close, auto-graded quizzes, AI grading for written assignments and AI debriefing take care of most of the assessment work, and students earn a certificate of completion to share.

What do you need to run a Hubro simulation?
Hubro runs entirely online for both instructors and students, with nothing to install and no IT project to schedule. A shared link is all your students need to join, and LMS integration with Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Brightspace is also available.
- A browser Nothing for you or your students to install.

- An LMS (optional) Integration available with Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard or Brightspace.
The platform does the onboarding
Students learn the interface through built-in tutorials and practice rounds, with additional materials and support available for the entire class — and you — anytime.
The platform provides the training
Students play through practice rounds and watch short tutorial videos before the real simulation starts, keeping in-class questions to strategy, instead of which button to press.
AI support responds in real time
Whenever you or your students have questions, AI support answers them inside the platform, the moment they're asked.
AI grading handles assessment
When rounds close, auto-graded quizzes, AI grading for written work and AI debriefing calculate results and offer feedback. You review and approve everything before it's final.
“Instead of trying to manage multiple platforms like HubSpot, Google Analytics and Search Console, everything was brought together in one place. That made my course manageable, and helped students actually understand what they were doing.”
Common questions about getting started
How quickly can I get started with a Hubro simulation?
The same day. Create a free instructor account in minutes, set up your course and invite your students to join as soon as you're ready.
How much setup time is required for the instructor?
Setup is self-serve and done in one sitting: schedule, rounds, groups and content. The built-in tutorials train your students, alongside included support resources.
Do I need IT support or training to run a Hubro simulation?
No. The Hubro platform runs on a browser for instructors and students, with nothing to install. A shared registration link gets students in without any IT involvement, and optional LMS integration with Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard or Brightspace is available if you prefer that route.
How do students join a Hubro simulation?
Through a registration link you share, or directly from your LMS. A built-in practice round and training videos teach them the interface before the first round, so no class time is spent on software training.
Do I have to talk to anyone at Hubro to get started?
No. Create your account, choose a simulation and set up your course. If you'd rather be walked through the process with a member of our team, you can also schedule a demo.
Can I try a Hubro simulation before my institution commits?
Yes. The free instructor account lets you explore the platform, and you can try out our simulations before committing.
