LegSim is a virtual simulation of a legislative assembly. Students use LegSim web to organize and operate their own legislative assembly as a way to put into action their political science or social studies lessons about politics, government, legislative institutions, and political strategy.
Your instructor has selected LegSim for its hands-on learning experience and has worked with LegSim's resource materials to customize the legislative assembly for your course.
Each instructor creates a separate LegSim legislative assembly which is only available to student enrolled in the course. Each LegSim assembly is password-controlled. Only enrolled students are eligible for passwords. Instructors provide a list of the students who will be participants for each LegSim assembly. Student may only participate in the LegSim web assembly assigned by their instructors.
Each LegSim participant purchases an individual license subscription to LegSim. Participants will receive a password authorizing access to the customized LegSim assembly upon consenting to the LegSim Permission Agreement, the Online Payment Agreement (if paying online), and payment of the LegSim license subscription fee for each academic term.
