For those who would rather play games than go to class, don’t worry about your grade–there’s a way to do both at once.

IBM on Thursday announced the launch of Innov8 2.0, an updated version of a video game with a university level curriculum at its core.

The first version started when MBA students were stuck with figuring out the best way to train people in business and technology skills. The answer they came up with was serious gaming.

“One can teach an entire semester based on the concepts of the game,” said Sandy Carter, an IBM vice president. “We can help businesses get ready for future scenarios.”

Among the changes from version 1.0 are new scenarios and easier ways to communicate and collaborate globally. Additionally, the game will now be both downloadable and web-based instead of only being available on CD.

Ms. Carter outlined some of the scenarios, which include smart traffic, wherein users have to manage congestion; smart supply chain, in which players are rewarded for balancing cost-efficiency and “green” shipping; and smart customer service and the ways to keep loyal customers.

All of the situations will be steeped in familiar gaming devices: Players will create an avatar, and then traverse around levels tackling a villain and earning a score.

While the first version was only made available to universities, Innov8 2.0 will also be offered to businesses, with companies already expressing interest in using it as a training program. Universities such as University of Southern California and Manchester Business School are already using the original program.

The free software will start as a pilot program before being made available to universities and businesses.
