Praxar

What Praxar is

Praxar offers web based business simulations for college and university courses. Its central activity puts students in charge of a simulated manufacturing company, where they make decisions involving marketing, production, human resources, and finance. Students can work alone or in teams, with the business simulation set up for groups of 5 to 500. Other activities cover marketing, management, the accounting cycle, and financial accounting; the accounting cycle simulation is intended for 4 to 10 hours of individual learning and also supports groups of 5 to 500.

Instructors use a portal with a calendar, customizable assessments, automatic marking, and results analysis. Néo, Praxar’s AI assistant, responds to student questions about the simulation in real time and helps instructors integrate it into class. Simulations can be used in person, remotely, or in blended classes, in a multiweek format or an intensive session. The Introduction to Business eCoursebook+ contains 15 interactive chapters and is designed to connect with the Kayak Business Simulation. Praxar is based in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada. Business simulation products are free for eligible instructors; students usually purchase an individual simulation license.
