We understand that courses are unique.

Our SimUText System® is a customizable subscription-based platform, allowing instructors to pick and choose content to fit their curriculum. Selected materials are assigned and delivered via a feature-rich system designed to help instructors and students stay organized and up-to-date.

Made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation, SimUText is extensively field tested and used in classrooms worldwide, where professors report that it greatly increases the quality of class participation.

Instructor Portal
The Instructor Portal serves as the command center for the SimUText for your class. A detailed Setup Checklist walks you through adding course sections, managing co-instructors, creating assignments and due dates, scoring questions, and distributing student registration information (access keys). The Instructor Portal includes tools to monitor individual or whole-class performance on auto-graded questions. Scores and submissions can be further analyzed and/or exported to your learning management system.

Supplemental Materials (including an additional question bank for tests and quizzes, guides to using the labs, and learning outcomes) are available for many SimBio modules to help instructors get the most out of their SimUText content.

SimUText Application
Registered students use the SimUText application to access and manage their assignments. The interface lists assigned material by due date, and tracks overall progress and performance on auto-graded questions. Students can make notes and highlights, review extension information and glossary terms, and print course materials without restriction.

Testimonials

“[SimBio’s modules] provide a powerful environment for hands-on, active learning in Ecology and Evolution. The depth, design, and pedagogical effectiveness of these packages is unequaled. They have greatly enriched student interest and understanding in all of my courses, from Introductory Biology to Advanced Population Biology”

— Dr. Brad Lister
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

“The lab simulations have been very helpful to reinforce the lecture content and encourage students to use critical thinking skills to solve problems.”

— Patti Fallest-Strobl
Neumann University

“I was amazed how quickly and effortlessly the simulation taught them a dynamic system.”

— Paula Philbrick
University of Connecticut

“The students like [it] so much that they are working ahead of what I have assigned. They just think it’s fun. And from the quiz results I have so far, they’re really getting it. You guys are geniuses.”

— Paulette Bierzychudek
Lewis & Clark College

“Since we began using Simbio’s Ecology chapters our students consistently come to class better prepared. This is a key to the success of our hybrid flipped classroom approach.”

— Dr. Peter Curtis
Ohio State University

“That was the most fun I’ve had teaching ecology and, I would venture to guess, the most fun my students have had taking ecology from me.”

— Matt Orr
Oregon State University, Cascades

“Our students are more prepared and our class discussions are more sophisticated because SimUText is such a great out of class “instructor”. Since our students have SimUText preparation we can spend class time applying concepts and evaluating new information.”

— Emily Bernhardt
Duke University

“I LOVE that every lab is based on a real study. I LOVE that all of the labs offer an open-ended inquiry. I LOVE that the labs gradually teach the concepts and build up a repertoire of data collection techniques. Thank you, for creating them.”

— Jeanette Williams
Community College of Vermont

“I just wanted to say how great simutext has been. I could have memorized facts about the electron transport chain and passed the test, but would not have had any solid concept of what was happening inside. I hope that we continue to use it often even when things return to normal.”

— Student
Rochester Community and Technical College

“Congratulations for developing such a high quality chapter. I was very impressed by its comprehensiveness, accuracy, and thoughtful design. It really is superb.”

— Richard Boone
Humboldt State University

“I recommend your modules to anyone I can, because of all the online materials I’ve found, SimBio is really the best in content and best managed. I am definitely a SimBio fan!”

— Valerie Anderson
Marymount California University
