How does LearningSpace improve the efficiency of running a simulation center?
LearningSpace reduces administrative workload and improves coordination by providing an integrated simulation management system that consolidates essential tools—Activity Management, Scheduling, Assessments, Reporting, and Inventory Tracking—into a single platform. This eliminates the need to manage multiple software solutions or manually coordinate across disconnected systems.
By centralizing these functions, LearningSpace streamlines workflows and reduces duplicate data entry. Simulation center staff can easily manage sessions, track learner performance, generate reports, and maintain equipment inventory from one intuitive interface. Scheduling conflicts are eliminated through real-time calendar integration, and inventory management ensures equipment is always available when needed.
This integrated approach saves time, reduces errors, and supports data-driven decision-making—helping simulation centers deliver high-quality, consistent training experiences.
What are the benefits of using LearningSpace for clinical educators and faculty?
LearningSpace empowers clinical educators and faculty by simplifying simulation-based education and enhancing their ability to deliver personalized, competency-based instruction. With centralized tools for activity scheduling, learner assessment, performance tracking, and report generation, educators spend less time on administrative tasks and more time teaching.
Faculty can design and manage diverse simulation scenarios—from skills-based training to OSCEs—and monitor learner progress in real time. Detailed analytics help identify learning gaps and inform instructional adjustments, while collaboration features ensure consistent training standards across departments.
LearningSpace supports evidence-based teaching strategies, giving educators the flexibility to tailor learning experiences to individual and group needs—ultimately improving both teaching efficiency and student outcomes.
How does LearningSpace help improve student learning outcomes and clinical preparedness?
LearningSpace enhances student learning outcomes and clinical preparedness by creating a structured, feedback-rich simulation environment. Students receive immediate feedback through real-time video capture and performance assessments, helping them identify gaps and refine techniques during debriefing.
Educators can track individual and group performance, pinpoint areas for improvement, and align training with competency goals. Students practice high-risk procedures in a safe, controlled environment—building confidence and clinical judgment before entering patient care settings.
By integrating simulation management with analytics and structured feedback tools, LearningSpace ensures students develop the skills, critical thinking, and readiness required for real-world healthcare practice.
Can LearningSpace integrate with manikins and simulators from other vendors (Elevate, Laerdal, Gaumard)?
Yes. LearningSpace works seamlessly with simulators from all major vendors, including Elevate, Laerdal, and Gaumard. This means you can protect your investment in existing equipment and avoid costly replacements.
LearningSpace is designed to capture patient vitals from high-fidelity manikins and task trainers across brands, and it also supports the integration of select patient care equipment to enhance realism and training comprehensiveness.
Whether you’re using a single brand or a mix of simulators, LearningSpace provides a unified platform for streamlined operations, data collection, and performance assessment—giving your simulation center maximum flexibility.
What reporting and analytics does LearningSpace provide for measuring learner performance?
LearningSpace provides robust, customizable analytics to track individual and cohort performance across simulations. Key reporting features include:
- Performance reports based on simulation activities and assessment results
- Customizable evaluation checklists for structured feedback and competency tracking
- Detailed session analytics, including checklist completion, scoring metrics, and curriculum mapping
- Exportable reports for accreditation, program improvement, and stakeholder communication
These insights empower educators to make data-driven adjustments to curriculum, identify learning trends, and demonstrate program effectiveness to leadership, accreditors, and other stakeholders.
How does LearningSpace support accreditation and compliance requirements?
LearningSpace simplifies accreditation preparation by automatically generating detailed activity logs, performance reports, and curriculum maps that align with standards such as INACSL and institutional requirements.
The platform provides:
- Comprehensive documentation of simulation activities, learner participation, and competency achievement
- Audit-ready reports that can be exported and customized for accreditation reviews
- Role-based access controls to ensure data integrity and proper oversight
- Secure data storage to maintain compliance with institutional privacy and security policies
By consolidating data and automating reporting workflows, LearningSpace helps simulation centers meet accreditation standards efficiently and confidently.
How does LearningSpace ensure data security and protect student information?
LearningSpace is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy, backed by its ISO 27001 certification—a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This certification demonstrates that LearningSpace has implemented rigorous controls to protect sensitive data, including student information, across its platform.
Key security measures include:
- Role-based access controls to ensure only authorized users can view or manage data
- Encrypted data transmission and secure storage protocols to safeguard information
- Regular security audits and proactive threat detection to maintain a secure environment and respond to emerging risks
By aligning with ISO 27001 standards, LearningSpace provides simulation centers with a trusted, secure platform for managing learner data and operational workflows—giving institutions and students peace of mind.
How long does LearningSpace implementation take?
LearningSpace implementation timelines vary based on the size and scope of your project as well as existing or new infrastructure requirements. Every simulation center has unique needs – from room configurations and equipment integration to user training and workflow customization.
