4. How to play Cosmic Voyage Enterprises
CONCEPT
Ethics can be difficult to truly understand without having
to make an ethical decision yourself.
This experience allows you to facilitate discussions on
topics of business ethics and social responsibility by
giving the students first-hand opportunities to take
ethical decisions.
As the facilitator, you control the pace of this interactive
story as it unfolds across student smartphones, tablets
or desktops. The whole story is self-contained in the
dashboard - a common website that pretends to be a
mobile phone. The dashboard loads in any browser and
can be found at http://cve.cm.cr

MATERIALS
Facilitator:
• Laptop, tablet or smarthphone with internet
connection (data plan or WiFi)
• A valid email address
• This Teacher’s Guide
Students:
• Their own tablet or smartphones with internet
connection (data plan or WiFi).
DURATION
As the facilitator, you are in control of the pacing and duration of
the experience. You decide when to move on to the next ‘day’ of
a 15 day story.
Allow 60 minutes to run the whole experience quickly or up to
120 minutes if you planning to engage in depth at every
discussion point.
You can stop anytime (by not moving the story forward) and
continue the experience the next day or whenever you want to.
This is an engaging and innovative way to talk about Business Ethics and Social Responsibility in the classroom.
This guide will help you prepare.

5. 3. Team decision
At the end of some scenes, students are
prompted to discuss and make a team
decision. One member of each team makes a
choice in her dashboard, and it will be
accounted as a team decision.
When facilitator feels the classroom is ready
to move on, she proceeds to next day and
releases new content.

1. Registration
Facilitator purchases seats for the
experience. She logins in her
dashboard and sets up the teams for
her classroom.
Students register afterwards and join
teams created by facilitator.
2. Kick-off
When every student has a team and a role,
facilitator kicks off the experience.
Every time she clicks on her dashboard for
the next day to unfold, new content is sent
to her students’ dashboard.
There are 15 scenes (story days) and
facilitator can control their pacing to allow
in-class discussion.
Overview

6. An In-Class Team Experience
Working in teams
• Students will have to work in teams to reach the
end of the story.
• Before starting the experience, have them form
teams or team them up in groups of 5.
• Students will have to choose different roles within
the team. They will receive different or conflicting
information sometimes depending on their role.
• Roles available are CEO, CFO, CMO, COO and CSR.
• If there are not enough students to complete a
full team, after registration they can select more
than one role.
Decision-making
• There are two types of decisions along the
experience:
o Individual decisions: Students can make these
decisions without impacting others in their
team. These decisions are intended to solely
provoke discussion.
o Team decisions: There are 4 team decisions.
At these points, students must arrive at a team
conclusion. The first choice selected by anyone
in the team will be taken as final for all the
members. These decisions have an impact on
how the story unfolds for that team.
o These types of decisions are marked with the
icon shown to the right.
• As facilitator, you will not be able to make any team
decisions. Only students in your classroom will be able
to take the decisions.

7. Starting Point
Storyworld
7Cosmic Voyage Enterprises TEACHER’S GUIDE
Cosmic Voyage Enterprises (CVE) is a space cargo company. Students play-role as its senior executives.
The experience starts with an accident: one of CVE’s rockets goes off course and crashes in Millisville, Florida.
The story reproduces 3 weeks of this crisis counting from the accident. In this elapsed time, students will have to face different
outcomes, such as environmental damage, community anger, institutional response, repairing costs, redundancies, bribes and hard
ethical decisions.
Students must deal with the crisis by contacting various stakeholders, gathering data and making informed decisions. Their
decisions have consequences, which raises interesting discussions.

16. All the story is managed through Story Control.
‘Assistant’ tells you what happens each day, and offers you the option to move forward to
the next day. The story will not move forward for your students unless you click the
options given in Story Control.
Once you click, all content and messages will be delivered to the other channels. A
notification sound and red lights pop up in all the channels with new messages
Story Control also shows:
DISCUSSION: Suggestions and topics to be debated in class in the light of
what happens in the story - provocations to talk about Business Ethics and
CSR.
PERSONALIZATION: Warns you about role-dependent information. In
these cases, only one member of the team receives content (i.e. CFO
receives a report). This icon helps you know when this happens.

17. Messages Tweeter
This channel is used to
chat with different
characters. There are
different threads inside
“Messages” to talk to
each one.
Sometimes, characters
expect students to
answer questions or
chose options. If they
don’t make a choice
before the facilitator
moves on to next day,
the options simply
disappear.
Team Decisions are
found at the end of each
“week” in a certain
character’s feed (see
Story Guide)
This channel
emulates social
media. Characters
will be “tweeting”
here, in private and
not on public social
media channels.
Students and the
facilitator can join the
feed by tweeting
their comments here.
All comments are
private within the
classroom.
