The Course Catalog is SimCare’s library of ready-made simulation courses. Each catalog course bundles a set of AI client cases (plus optional quizzes and document readings) into a structured learning path. Instructors can use one as the foundation for a class, and learners can self-enroll directly.
Finding the catalog
Go to /course-catalog in the top navigation. The catalog is available to all signed-in instructors, admins, and learners — free-tier accounts are redirected to upgrade.
Browsing
The catalog has a single search bar and a grouped list of course cards:
- Search — type any topic, presenting issue, or course name
- Courses are grouped by category or by school (depending on your account)
- Each card shows the course title and a quick description
Click How does this work? in the top right for a short walkthrough of the catalog.
Course detail page
Click any card to open the course detail page. From here you can:
- Read the full course description and learning goals
- See the list of included assignments (cases, quizzes, and document readings)
- Preview each assignment’s details modal
- Preview the welcome message learners will see
Using a course (instructors & admins)
When you’re ready to use a course in your own class, click Use this course. SimCare clones the entire course into your program as a new class, including:
- All cases with their settings
- Any quizzes and document readings
- The opening welcome message
- The recommended sequencing
You can then customize the cloned class freely without affecting the original template. Once created, invite students by email, enrollment code, or LTI (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle).
Cloning is one-way — your edits won’t change the template, and updates to the template won’t push back into your class.
Self-enrolling (learners)
If you’re using SimCare as a self-paced learner (without an instructor-assigned class):
- Open the catalog and pick a course
- Click Use this course to enroll yourself
- Assignments appear on your My Learning dashboard
- Work through them on your own schedule — no due dates unless the catalog course set them
Building your own course
The Build my course button in the top right takes you to your classes page, where you can compose a course from scratch using your existing cases.
Why a course might be missing
The catalog shows publicly-published templates created by SimCare and partner programs. Courses your institution builds privately won’t appear — your instructor will share those directly via enrollment code or LMS link.
