NexLearn, LLP
NexLearn is a custom education software developer with a special interest in creating immersive learning simulations. NexLearn’s SimWriter technology puts the power to create and maintain robust Social Simulations in your hands. SimWriter allows developers to completely customize a learner's multimedia experience. With no standard interface or feature limitations, a single developer can combine text, images, audio, video, and interactive elements in any way to create an effective learning experience that meets specific learning goals.
SimWriter facilitates unprecedented rapid development of social simulations. The technology was designed to allow a single person, such as an instructional designer, subject matter expert, trainer, or human resource representative, to develop media-rich, highly interactive social simulations.
After more than a decade of developing Social Simulations for numerous clients and industries, we’ve discovered first-hand that robust, interactive simulations allow learners to comprehend training information and master a variety of skills. By combining media-rich content and innovative technology, like SimWriter, NexLearn can help you develop solutions that teach to multiple learning styles—an important factor linked directly to your ROE (Return on Education).
