SIMTICS is a product of SimTutor Inc. SIMTICS is a library of simulation-based content which enables cognitive learning & testing of medical, clinical and allied health skills anytime, anywhere. Its multi-media cognitive simulations are integrated with 3D anatomy, quiz, video and text, putting all the resources the learner needs in one place, at their fingertips. Like an "online flight simulator for clinical procedures”, SIMTICS de-risks the learning experience and allows learners to practice and rehearse as often as required to build competence and confidence. SimTutor has a a second product, SimTutor Author, a cost effective and intuitive eLearning authoring tool. It requires no coding experience to rapidly build learning objects 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 file, upload it and use SimTutor’s unique authoring features to create all types of eLearning from simple interactions to immersive simulated scenario-based training.
