For teachers
Find a simulation and run it with your whole class, in about ten minutes.
Ten minutes from signing in to a class running a simulation together. Everything here is covered in more depth under Teach.
Sign in and set your role to Teacher
At platform.siminsights.com, open Settings > Profile and set Role to Teacher. See Choose your role.
Find a simulation
Open Skillful and browse the catalog. Three filters do most of the work:
Category for your subject.
Variant for how much the simulation leads the learner. Guided simulations walk through each step, and are the right default for K-12.
Platform for the devices your students will use. MR simulations need a mixed reality headset and will not open on an ordinary VR headset or in a browser, so only pick MR if you know your devices support it.
Open a simulation to read what it covers before you commit a class period to it. Simulations covers the rest of the filters, what each button on a simulation page means, and how to control which simulations appear on your headsets.
Start a group session
On the simulation's page press Assign group session, then Start session. A five-digit code appears. See Group sessions.
Get students in
Put the code on the board. On a headset they open HyperSkill and choose Input pin code; on a computer they go to launch.siminsights.com/join. Watch them appear on your session page.
Wrap up
Press End session. Their results stay under Group sessions.
Once you know your way around
Group sessions > Host a session starts a session without going through Skillful. It is quicker once you already know the name of the simulation you want.
When you want more than a live session
Create a class, add your students by email, and assign a lesson that mixes simulations with a reading and quizzes. Students work through it on their own time, and you see who has finished. See Classes and Lessons.
