Virtual Simulations Training Center

Virtual simulations allow teachers to gain practical experience teaching students with specific learning needs without being assigned to classrooms.  The Virtual Simulations Training Center, located in 213A Education Building, is being used by numerous EDHD instructors to allow authentic application of course content. Classes can use simulations in-person or remotely through Zoom.

Our list of Virtual Simulation Current Offerings describes the simulations we can offer with a short amount of lead time.  With more planning time, we can customize a simulation for you.

If you are interested in utilizing one of our Current Offerings, complete the Current Offerings Simulation Request.  If you are interested in working with us to develop a new simulation, email projectimpact@bgsu.edu.  Please note that a minimum of 6 weeks lead time is needed for simulation development.
