Software development company Pattern has made enhancements for their eLearning client, SimTutor. The enhancements have not only made the planning of a simulated training session a pleasure, but also sped up the process for tutors. SimTutor's simulated learning platform is one of a kind as it features fully integrated planning and authoring apps, eliminating the need for different tools.

SimTutor is an Auckland-based company that offers a global online learning platform for sectors with high-risk work environments such as medicine, construction, logistics and aviation, where staff are required to undergo simulated training prior to stepping into real-life work situations. SimTutor provides a cloud based software platform that delivers a fully interactive learning experience so people can practice without risk, pressure or negative consequences.  

“The planning view is useful for a host of procedures that benefit from visual planning and the need to create storyboards, then branch into complex scenarios quickly. The app can be used for boat safety, fire safety, truck driving and many other procedural training situations,” says Jamil Geor, CTO, Pattern.

As tutors plan their lessons, they can easily branch out to different scenarios, giving them visual interactions, rather than just multi-choice quiz questions. The core benefits of the new planning view include the drag and drop functionality allowing for fast and easy visualisation of scenarios. The new design provides the ability to switch between planning and authoring mode at any time and automatic updates across all views when a change is made. SimTutor is the fast, easy way to create powerful workplace training that is designed for organisations where error-free operations are vital.

Pattern has been helping companies plan, design and build custom business software solutions. They use enterprise class technologies to build and maintain web and mobile applications for commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations. Custom software gives businesses an edge over its competitors. It allows them to take advantage of new opportunities quickly, and realise cost efficiencies to get business running smoothly.
