  • Open multiple simulations simultaneously and move components from one project to another to save hours of development time.
  • Use the improved map interface to create and view more complex branching scenarios.
  • Launch the Sim Inspector to test mapping, media linking and scoring errors before building simulations.
  • Add character, image, audio, movie and button collections with one click to make custom simulation development easier and faster.
  • Organize project-specific image collections.
  • Export simulations with even more Flash features to create interactive, engaging and unique immersive learning simulation experiences.

“We are very excited to announce these enhancements,” adds Rees. “The interest level from industry experts, developers and end-users—the learners—has been overwhelming. We believe SimWriter 3.5 will continue to offer unique advantages to anyone interested in creating innovative learning opportunities.” Introduced to the public in 2004, SimWriter has changed the way organizations approach training and education initiatives.
