Creating a course in SimCapture Cloud allows you to organize learners, scenarios, and evaluations in one place. Courses act as the foundation for delivering simulation activities, tracking progress, and managing training workflows.

Before You Begin

You must have permission to create or edit courses
Ensure an Organization is already set up
Confirm you have users available to add as participants

Every course must be assigned to an organization for access control and data separation.

Step 1: Create a New Course

Navigate to Courses
Select + Add Course

Step 2: Configure Course Details

When creating the course, complete the following:

Private Title - Internal/admin reference (Required)
Public Title - Visible to learners (Optional)
Summary - Brief description of the course. (Optional)
Learning Objectives - What are the learning objectives of this couse? (Optional)
Organization - Select the appropriate organization (Required)
Passing cutoff - Used to define the minimum performance required for learners to pass a course. (Required)

Select Save to create the course.

Step 3: Add Course Participants

Select the pencil icon to open the Course Participants area.
Search and select which course participants you'd like to add.
Select Save.

Participants added to the course can:

Access course content
Participate in sessions and activities

Step 4: Add Contributors/Monitors/Viewers

Select the pencil icon to open the People area.
Add a Course owner (Required)
Change contributors/monitors/viewers of a course (Optional)

Step 5: Create Scenarios

Within the course, select Add New Scenario within the Curriculum area.
Select Create New or Copy
Configure scenario settings:
- Choose a Scenario Requirement (e.g., Standardized Patient)
- Define any required workflow or exam flow
Save the scenario

Scenarios define the activities learners will complete within a course.

Step 6: Add Course Content (Optional)

You can enhance the course by:

Attaching files or resources
Adding annotations or supporting materials within scenarios

Step 7: Update Course Status

When ready:

Select Start Course

Some features (such as course-level evaluations) only work after the course is started and not left in Development.

What’s Next

After creating a course, you can:

Schedule sessions or activities
Assign evaluations
Build a course agenda/calendar
Track learner progress and performance

Tips & Best Practices

Start with Development status while building your course
Add at least one scenario before scheduling activities
Ensure participants are added before starting course progress
Use clear naming for public vs private titles
