We’ve created new Standalone Scenario evaluations for use in SimCapture Cloud. Similar to Course evaluations, Standalone evaluations are associated with a Scenario, are session-less, can be assigned at any time and can have a Scoring rubric.

Create a Standalone evaluation

To create a Standalone scenario evaluation:

1. Go to the Course you want to add a Scenario to and, in the Curriculum pod, click Add New Scenario.
2. Click Create New
3. Give your Scenario the required title.
4. In the Scenario Requirements box, Select Simulator, Standardized Patient, Peer to peer or Self-recorded and fill in the necessary information based on your selection. 
5. Click Save.
6. Go to the Evaluations pod, find your newly created Scenario, and click the gear icon. 
7. Select Standalone Scenario. You can also add a Scoring Rubric at this time.  
8. Click Confirm.
9. Find your Standalone Scenario in the Evaluations pod and click Click to add an Evaluation. 
10. Click Create New add a required title and click Save. 
11. Click Add questions in the Evaluation Preview pod and choose from Multiple Choice, USMLE Diagnosis, Information or Free Text. You can also add .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .mp4, .m4v, and .mov files to the evaluation.
12. Click Save to save your questions and/or files, then click Done. 

You will be able to find your newly created Standalone Scenario evaluation in the Evaluations pod. 

Assign a Standalone scenario evaluation

Standalone scenarios can be assigned the same way Course scenarios are assigned. To assign the Standalone scenario:

1. Go back to your Course and, in the Agenda pod, click Go to full agenda. 
2. Click Assign Evaluation. 
3. From the Evaluation to Assign dropdown, select the required scenario you want to assign. Should your list in the Evaluation To Assign dropdown become large, you can select a scenario from the Filter by Scenario dropdown. 
4. Set your required Release Date & Time and, if you choose, your Retract Date & Time. If no retraction time is set, this activity will not have a due date.
5. Assign to All Course Participants or Only Select Users and search for the users you want to assign the evaluation too. 
6. Click Save and you will be taken to your agenda where you can see the assignment. It will also appear, just like a Course evaluation, in the Agenda pod on the Course home page.
