LUCA Office Simulation is an innovative learning platform that prepares future business professionals for everyday office challenges in a practical way. Developed by Cap3 GmbH in close cooperation with the University of Mannheim and other partners, the open-access solution depicts realistic office scenarios. Learners, teachers and researchers can use it to foster professional skills and practice them under real-life conditions
// Challenge
Realistic office simulation: learning through experience.
Developing LUCA Office Simulation required a highly detailed reproduction of real office situations combined with user-friendly, intuitive operation. The goal was to create a flexible web application that allows individually configurable scenarios and questionnaires. An automated feedback system was integrated to reliably track and evaluate learning progress. Special attention was given to scalability to ensure stable performance, both in classroom settings and digital learning environments, even with high user numbers.
// Solution
Office simulation with real added value.
Together with the University of Mannheim and other partners, Cap3 created a modular, web-based office simulation for configurable scenarios that can be flexibly designed, executed and evaluated. Running on nearly any device, the platform delivers high performance and scalability thanks to modern web technologies. Realistic tasks and semi-automated assessments foster learning success, while usage data reveals problem-solving skills. Teachers can follow exams in real time, offer chat support and provide targeted feedback. Built to meet the highest data protection standards, the platform is ready for data-driven analyses with AI and machine learning as well as future extensions.
// Results
Practice-oriented training
By simulating realistic office situations, learners strengthen their practical and decision-making skills.
Proven in practice and research
Teachers and students alike appreciate its flexibility and ease of use. The platform is also used in educational research, helping to advance didactic approaches.
Efficient evaluation
Semi-automated assessments provide fast, objective feedback to drive learning progress.
Flexible application
Equally effective in face-to-face teaching and digital learning environments.
// FEATURE
The close collaboration resulted in an innovative software solution that meets the complex requirements of realistic office simulation. The professional support provided by Cap3 was extremely important for the success of the project.
