Standalone evaluations in SimCapture for Skills are a flexible tool that can be used independently of live or recorded sessions. When paired with Self-Record scenarios, they offer instructors powerful ways to assess knowledge, documentation skills, and gather student feedback.

What Is a Standalone Evaluation?

A Standalone Evaluation is an assessment that can be completed without being tied to a specific video or live session. It's ideal for evaluating knowledge, documentation, or collecting feedback across a variety of learning scenarios.

When to Use Standalone Evaluations

1. Knowledge Checks for Skills and Equipment

Use Standalone evaluations to assess a student's understanding of:

  • Key concepts related to a skill
  • Proper use of equipment
  • Critical areas of focus

Instructors can create custom evaluations with targeted questions to measure both theoretical knowledge and practical readiness. This helps identify where students may need additional instruction or practice.

2. SOAP Note Practice and Documentation Skills

After completing a Self-Record scenario, students can be asked to write SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan). Standalone evaluations can:

  • Include a custom rubric for grading documentation
  • Emphasize clarity, accuracy, and completeness
  • Provide structured feedback to improve clinical writing skills

3. Student Feedback and Surveys

Use Standalone evaluations to gather student input on:

  • The condition and usability of simulation equipment
  • The realism and effectiveness of role-playing scenarios
  • Overall learning environment and experience

This feedback helps instructors and administrators improve future simulations and address any concerns.

Getting Started

To create or assign a Standalone evaluation:

  1. Log in to your SimCapture for Skills account.
  2. Navigate to the Evaluations section.
  3. Choose Create New Evaluation and select Standalone.
  4. Add your questions, rubrics, or survey prompts.
  5. Assign the evaluation to students or groups as needed.
