Professionelles Simulationstraining basiert auf gezieltem Informationsfluss – von der Simulation über das Debriefing bis zur Nachbereitung. Damit die gesammelten Erkenntnisse nachhaltig wirksam sind, braucht es geeignete Kommunikationskanäle, die Inhalte zugänglich, teilbar und reproduzierbar machen. Genau hier eröffnen Streaming-Formate neue Perspektiven.

From AV System to Digital Training Format

AV systems like SIMStation provide ideal conditions for making simulation training accessible across various digital formats – whether live, on-demand, or hybrid. Technically, these systems enable:

  • Recording and editing of audiovisual content
  • Targeted export of training data and annotations
  • Integration with streaming platforms or internal networks

Instructor monitoring a simulation session on a control monitor while making annotations.

New Use Cases at a Glance

Based on internal experience and international studies, a wide range of simulation formats have proven effective for streaming, including:

  • Live demonstrations and tutorials for skill-based training
  • Lectures, webinars, or pre-recorded sessions for theoretical content
  • Case discussions or walkthroughs for process analysis
  • Checklist videos and mockups for standardization

Implementing with SIMStation

These formats can be implemented quickly and effectively with SIMStation – in just three steps:

  • Define the format – based on your target audience and learning goals
  • Use your AV setup – turn your SIMStation system into a recording studio
  • Stream the content – via suitable platforms or internal channels
    Thanks to the built-in hardware (cameras, microphones, etc.) and software functionality, only minimal adjustments are needed. The connection to a streaming PC is made via grabber hardware, optionally enhanced with software interfaces.

Key Considerations

  • Define audience size, technical background, and privacy requirements in advance
  • Integrate interactive elements (e.g., chat, polls) as needed
  • Choose your platform based on purpose and accessibility

Conclusion

Streaming is no longer just a workaround from the pandemic era – it’s a sustainable extension of professional simulation. With the right tools – such as SIMStation – new learning formats can be launched, knowledge can be scaled, and quality can be ensured.
The future of simulation is hybrid, flexible, and connected.
