about implexa

I am a professor who has decided to create a game called implexa to enhance the experience of teaching for lectures and learning for my students. It is a project that aims to improve over time with thanks to the collaboration and experiences of a growing community of students and lectures who are passionate about logistics.

implexa is an educational tool that allows to teach in a funny and exciting way 'how complex' is the supply chain management (SCM).

In 1997 I started my teaching and research work as a professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Here I shared the best of me, I worked hard on getting the most from my teaching. I was adament that the learning of my students was a full experience, professional, human and full of current knowledge and at the same time useful, fun and unforgettable. I am always thinking and developing new ways of learning-by-doing and I hope implexa fulfills this purpose.

I am passionate about new technologies and web applications development. I am always searching and learning new techniques and methods to create interesting projects that people like. implexa is a great challenge for me as it represents the first teaching app I create. My hope is that students have an experience that will help them improve their knowledge and skills.

implexa has been translated into different languages thanks to the collaboration of: Fabio Comer (italian), Leonid Drost (german and russian), Leonardo Costi (french and portuguese), Jinyang Kent Guo and Marcos Carbonell (chinese).
