In 2013, I was wrapping up the final class in a 45 credit hour degree MBA program. The entire class was centered around a business simulation called CAPSIM.
Things were not going so well. I was failing. I had not failed a single college class...ever ... until now. I failed the final class in my graduate program. FRUSTRATING! to say the least.
I matched my frustration with a commitment to help other people not fall into the pitfall that it did. See, I traced my failure back to getting a slow start at learning the "ins and outs" of CAPSIM. The various inputs of human resources, marketing, research and development, and especially finance were difficult to navigate. Furthermore, it was nearly impossible to learn the simulation from the materials on the CAPSIM web page. I had to learn by failing the class..
As a response, I created some insightful tutorials (on YouTube) on how to use the CAPSIM website, as well as, a blogpost on what were the key objectives of the student role in the program.
I published these products in 2013, and I am still getting views and followers, though I haven't updated or responded to the comments. (side note, it is uncharacteristic of me not to respond, but I no longer have access to the simulation to get the most current info for folks. I'm sure a lot has changed.)
Long story short, my CAPSIM blogpost has had over 5,000 views. The YouTube tutorials have 227 subscribers and nearly 150, 000 views!
I have had a ton of positive feedback, and a few negative comments as well. Here are a few of my favorite comments on my YouTube videos:
"That was incredibly helpful to watch before my group's first meeting"
"You are a GODSEND, these videos are so helpful!! Thanks for taking the time to make these!"
"your voice is as small as your dick"
"useless" (ok, that one hurts a little bit)
