Today, DMLGroup's newest training system, eSimon™, will enter beta testing.

The core feature of eSimon is a powerful software simulator, which allows learners to experience real-life situations in which they'd use a software system. Using eSimon, learners click through a working software mock-up while conversing with simulated customers. eSimon provides learners with a life-like customer-agent experience or coaching experience far beyond what is possible with screenshot- or flash-based imitations. Learners can also go beyond simulations and practice roleplay and directed learning scenarios from the same core interface. Mentors can even see what learners did in the software and hear what they said to the customer.

And the best part: eSimon makes full-scale simulations possible over the web, through any SCORM-compliant LMS! eSimon is a "smart client" application that allows transparent installation and updates through a standard web browser.

eSimon is based on our popular SIMON 400 instructional system, which has been disinvested with the release of eSimon. Current clients with active support agreements will be migrated. Please contact your representative at DMLGroup for details.
