SimCapture for Skills is a mobile-friendly platform designed for hands-on skills practice, supporting both on-site and remote learning. The Self-record feature allows learners to record and submit videos of their skill performance for evaluation-by themselves, peers, or instructors.

Interested in practicing with a peer instead? See Tutorials for the Learner/Student.

Before You Begin

Here are a few things to know before starting:

  • SimCapture for Skills works on any device with a web browser (smartphones, tablets, laptops).
  • Chrome is recommended; Safari is supported.
  • If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you can log in with your credentials.
  • A video icon indicates a recorded skill.
  • You must allow access to your camera and microphone when prompted.
  • Submitted videos are included in SimCapture reporting for authorized reviewers.
  • Self-recorded sessions can be evaluated by:
    • An administrator
    • A peer
    • Yourself (self-scoring)
  • Once a session is complete, scorers cannot be assigned retroactively.
