I introduced Odoo to my supply chain students for the first time in
Fall, 2019 to introduce the concepts of ERP. The interactive nature of
the Scale Up game was the perfect tool to teach these concepts.
Traditionally, students have read about ERP solutions, but they never
really have an opportunity to implement an ERP software. Scale Up gave
my students first-hand knowledge of how comprehensive an ERP solution
can be. The Odoo student experience opened up many new learning
opportunities for the students as well. Students learned how to create
a web site, set up an e-commerce site, explore inventory levels,
manager customer accounts, and learn a new project management software.
At the end of the course, my students used the knowledge gained from
Odoo to create a demonstration ERP solution for a local business and
then presented the solution to the business. Both the students and the
local client benefited greatly from the Scale Up approach!
