The Exchange is an open repository of resources, including free simulation scenarios, links to free virtual simulations, scenario development tools & templates, and assessment/evaluation tools. The Exchange fosters collaboration amongst simulationists for the sharing, improvement, and adaptation of resources. Learn more in the SIM Scenario Exchange™ FAQs and please considering sharing your work.
A free Simulation Canada website account is required to access the simulation materials.
