SimTutor Author Is Now Available For Microsoft Teams

SimTutor offers a simple and intuitive platform that empowers leaders to rapidly build and share interactive simulation-based training to Teams users throughout the world.

Microsoft has named SimTutor Inc a strategic partner and SimTutor Author is now part of the Microsoft Teams ecosystem of apps. This means that you can now author new simulations right inside of Microsoft Teams, collaborate on creating sims with colleagues, and easily distribute sims to team members.

In today’s hybrid and geographically distributed workplace, immersive simulation-based training is often the most engaging and effective way to prepare students and professionals for mission-critical moments. Yet, building customized and effective simulation-based training is usually very expensive and requires technical expertise.

SimTutor Author eliminates both challenges. It is cost-effective and intuitive, requiring no coding experience to rapidly build simulations using existing content including videos, illustrations, photos, and slides that you already have on hand and bring them to life as interactive and gradable simulations. If you don’t have the content you need, you can quickly create a PowerPoint, upload it and use SimTutor’s unique simulation builder to create immersive simulated scenario-based training.

SimTutor Author provides creators with an intuitive drag and drop interface with a wide variety of ways to quickly create engaging, interactive content. Every "step-type" has a straightforward user experience. Within minutes of downloading the application, new users can begin creating interactive and trackable scenario-based training. The integrated planning view provides a simple way to design even complex branching flows and then build out the individual steps.

Microsoft Teams has been the go-to resource for businesses of all sizes to connect, problem-solve, and work real-time. We welcome SimTutor Author to our family of apps supporting Teams users' ability to collaborate and create.

We are excited that Microsoft Teams users will now have access to SimTutor Author and be able to build a better experience creating and deploying their training content.Teams adds a layer of collaboration on top of our industry-leading content authoring interface that makes it even easier for customers to improve their training outcomes.
