Instructor Workflow
Creating Case Assignments
Creating case assignments:
Case assignments are the core of experiential learning on SimCare AI. They allow students to engage in simulated counselling sessions with AI patients and receive structured feedback on their communication and clinical reasoning skills.
As an instructor, you can assign any case from the SimCare library and specify which skills you want evaluated.
Selecting a Case Template
To create a new case assignment:
Go to your Class
Open the Assignments tab
Click “Create Assignment” and select Case
You’ll be prompted to select a case template from the SimCare AI case library. Templates cover a range of client profiles, clinical presentations, and difficulty levels.
Once you've selected a case, you can configure the assignment details.
Assignment Details
After selecting a case, you’ll enter the core assignment settings:
Field | Description |
Assignment Name | The title students will see (e.g., “Initial Assessment: Mr. Wei C.”) |
Description | Optional guidance or expectations for the session |
Due Date | The deadline for completion |
Due Time | Time of day the assignment closes |
Number of Attempts | Limit how many times a student can complete the session (e.g., “1 attempt only” or “Unlimited”) |
These settings ensure that students complete the assignment within your desired timeline and structure.
Selecting Skills for Assessment
Once the assignment details are saved, you’ll see two checklists of skills that can be assessed during the case.
These checklists represent core counseling competencies and are divided into two categories:
Fundamental Skills (e.g., Active Listening, Open-Ended Questions, Empathy)
Advanced Skills (e.g., Treatment Planning, Cultural Responsiveness, Motivational Interviewing)
All you need to do is check the boxes next to the skills you want assessed.
The selected skills will:
Be tracked by the system during the student’s interaction
Influence how the AI evaluates and scores the session
Appear in the final performance report and analytics
You can select as many or as few skills as you like, depending on your learning goals for the assignment.
Publishing the Case
After skill selection:
You can choose to Save as Draft or Publish
Students will see the case title, description, due date, and attempt limit
Once they complete the interaction, SimCare will generate an AI-powered summary, skill scores, and feedback
You’ll be able to review each student's submission, override AI evaluations if needed, and release feedback manually or automatically.
