Using GoVenture with a computer projector, interactive whiteboard, or audience response system

Watch this video for an example

​

GoVenture is displayed at the front of the room using a projector or on an interactive whiteboard. The audience is a team and the instructor/facilitator acts as the team leader. The team leader describes the scenario and leads the audience towards making a series of decisions. As decisions are made, the team leader inputs the decisions into GoVenture.

To gain consensus on each decision, the team leader uses the majority rules approach. PowerPoint slides are used to help guide each decision (The team leader switches between GoVenture and the PowerPoint slides as decisions are gathered and inputted). Individual opinions can be solicited by having the audience shout out their preferences, through a show of hands, or with an audience response system.

As decisions are made and GoVenture results are triggered, the team leader has several opportunities to provide commentary and analysis to deepen the learning experience. And, once the session is completed, participants can dive deeper into GoVenture by playing on individual computers for days or weeks thereafter.

Tip: If an audience response system is used to solicit decisions, it is best to team up people to use the same audience response keypad as opposed to giving one to every person. This promotes social collaboration and tends to create higher energy in the room.
