SimCapture - A comprehensive solution for developing, tracking and verifying competency across every stage
CBE relies heavily on formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments allow learners to deconstruct and improve their performance as they advance. Summative assessments allow them—and you—to appraise their progress at key milestones.
For educators, naturally, this can take time and administrative effort—especially if you are recording your findings manually and on paper.

Effortless assessments
Laerdal’s SimCapture system offers educators and institutions the means to conduct formative and summative assessments quickly and easily. SimCapture is a digitally based system that combines software, video playback, and a structure for evaluations in a way that ensures objectivity, accuracy, and better learning through assessments
