What it is
Praxar provides web-based interactive business simulations for college and university teaching. Its activities cover business, marketing, management, the accounting cycle, and financial accounting. In the main business simulation, students manage a simulated manufacturing small or medium-sized enterprise, making decisions in marketing, production, human resources, and finance. Participation can be individual or team-based for groups of 5 to 500 students. An accounting-cycle simulation is designed for 4 to 10 hours of individual learning and also supports groups of 5 to 500. Néo, Praxar’s AI assistant, answers simulation questions in real time and helps instructors integrate activities into class. An instructor portal provides a calendar, customizable assessments, automatic marking, and results analysis. Simulations can run in person, virtually, or in blended classes, over several weeks or in intensive mode. Qualified instructors can receive business simulation products free of charge, while students usually buy individual licenses. Praxar is headquartered in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada.
