Group sessions
Run one simulation with your whole class at once. Learners join with a code and need no account.
A group session is a synchronous way to have your class run the same simulation at the same time. You start it, learners join with a five-digit pincode, and you watch their progress from one page.
Group Session Hosting is part of Skillful. See Access and pricing.
Start a session
There are two ways, with the same result:
Explore the simulations in Skillful, find the simulation of your choice, and press Assign group session, then Start session.
Or, if you know the name of the simulation you want, go to platform.siminsights.com/sessions, press Host a session, search for the simulation by name, and press Start session.
After you host the session, a page opens with the join code.
Learners join
Give students the code. They can join two ways:
In a headset: open HyperSkill, choose Input pin code, and enter the code.
On the web: go to launch.siminsights.com/join, enter the code and a name, and press Launch. The simulation runs in the browser.
A student who leaves the name blank is given one, such as Student 12.
Watch the session
The session page lists everyone who has joined: name, status, time in the simulation, and the device they are on. It updates on its own. Above the list are the totals: how many started, how many finished, and the average time to finish.
Open a learner's row to see their run in detail, including a comparison of their skills against the group average. Run detail also has the timeline of what they did, the event log and the replay.
End the session
Press End session when class wraps up. The code stops working for new joins.
Afterwards
Every session you have hosted stays at platform.siminsights.com/sessions, grouped by simulation. Group session analytics covers reading a finished session: how many started and finished, the average time, and the skill mastery for the session as a whole.
