SimCapture for Skills is a mobile‑friendly platform designed for digital assessment and evaluation that helps learners improve clinical performance and learning outcomes. Built to support hybrid learning , it works equally well in on‑site simulation labs and off‑site practice environments—giving you flexibility to practice anytime, anywhere.

What You Can Do with SimCapture for Skills

With SimCapture for Skills, you can:

  • Practice and evaluate clinical skills independently or with a peer
  • Use one or two mobile devices, depending on the session type
  • Record and review your performance to support skill development
  • Receive feedback to track progress and improve over time

Session Types in SimCapture for Skills

SimCapture for Skills supports three session formats, each designed for different learning needs.

1. Self‑Record Session

Use  one device  to record yourself practicing a skill.

Best for:

  • Solo practice
  • Self‑evaluation and reflection
  • Practicing outside of scheduled lab time

You control the session and can review your performance afterward to identify strengths and improvement areas.

2. Peer‑to‑Peer Session (One Device)

Practice with a peer using  one shared device.

Best for:

  • In‑person collaboration
  • Alternating roles between performer and observer
  • Guided peer feedback

One learner performs the skill while the other assists with recording and evaluation.

3. Peer‑to‑Peer Session (Two Devices)

Each learner uses their  own device  .

Best for:

  • Remote or asynchronous practice
  • Flexible peer roles
  • Learning outside a shared physical space

This learner‑directed format allows each participant to manage their role independently.
