How SIMnet works
Student success
Badging credentials SIMnet
Microsoft Office is the de facto software in which students present their learning. However, many students are self-taught and often believe themselves to be proficient, but varying skill levels can hamper their learning and course outcomes.
As their lecturer, you know that expertise across the Microsoft Office portfolio is not just important for their university learning but is the bedrock of professional success
With SIMnet, it's easy to take aim and ready them for your class and their future careers.
 | Personalised learning paths adapt to each individual student's needs |
 | Auto-grading of tasks gives lecturers results without the need to monitor or assess modules |
 | Analytics provide actionable insights so instructors stay in tune with students' progress and tailor teaching and course material accordingly |
SIMnet is a simple-to-use digital platform that builds confidence with a customised learning journey to suit each individual student. Honing and practicing Microsoft skills in their own time, at their own pace, they reach their personal targets with ease.
Teaching fundamental Microsoft Office skills without any lecturer time or resource, SIMnet is convenient for both you and them.
