Definition

What Are Learning Simulations?

Learning simulations are interactive environments where people practise real tasks and decisions safely, before performing them for real. They span software simulations with guided, practice and assessment modes, branching decision and dialogue scenarios, and virtual labs for science and engineering.

Simulations work because they build judgement through consequence, not memorisation. Learners try, fail safely, see the result and adjust — the fastest route to durable, transferable skill.

What We Deliver

Why Graveiens

Why Our Simulations Deliver

Designed Around Decisions

We start from the specific choices and actions learners must master, then build the sim around them.

Measured, Not Assumed

Guided, practice and assess modes capture decisions via xAPI so you can prove competence.

Prototype-First

We validate the core interaction early, so you approve the experience before full production.

Runs Everywhere

HTML5, LMS-packaged and optimised for mobile and low-bandwidth environments.

Our Work Process

How We Build Simulations

1

Task & Decision Analysis

We map the real decisions, actions and failure points learners must rehearse.
2

Interaction Design

We design states, branches, feedback and scoring around those decisions.
3

Core Prototype

An interactive prototype validates the key loop before full build.
4

Build & Media

Full development with UI, media and realistic content across all paths.
5

QA & Accessibility

Functional, logic and accessibility testing across every branch and device.
6

Package & Deliver

SCORM/xAPI packaging, LMS integration and source-file handover.

How We Compare

Passive Content vs Simulation

When performance matters, practice beats presentation.

Criteria	Traditional course	Simulation
Learner role	Reads and watches	Does, decides and adjusts
Skill built	Recall of facts	Judgement and transferable skill
Safety	N/A	Fail safely before real stakes
Feedback	End-of-module quiz	Immediate, decision-level feedback
Measurement	Completion	Decision and competence data via xAPI
Retention	Fades quickly	Sticks through consequence

Proven Results

A Case Study From This Practice

EdTech · Digital Learning

150 interactive HTML5 simulations for a STEM platform

Challenge. A European digital-learning company needed 150 accurate Physics, Chemistry and Biology simulations (Grades 6–10) running offline on low-cost tablets and SCORM-compliant — with no in-house dev capacity.

What we did. A blended team built a reusable HTML5 simulation engine in three weeks, then ran scientific-accuracy review, playtesting and performance testing on real low-spec devices.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are learning simulations?

Learning simulations are interactive environments where people practise real tasks and decisions safely before doing them for real — software simulations, branching dialogue scenarios, and virtual labs for science and engineering. They build judgement and skill, not just recall.

What types of simulations do you build?

Software simulations with guided, practice and assessment modes; branching decision and dialogue scenarios; and virtual labs for science and engineering. Each is designed around the specific decisions or actions learners must master.

How much does a simulation cost?

Simulations are quoted per model based on the number of paths, states and assets. Complexity — from a single guided software sim to a multi-branch scenario or virtual lab — drives the estimate. Use the live quote tool for an instant range.

How long does a simulation take to build?

Most simulations and virtual labs take 10–16 weeks depending on branching depth, media and integration. We prototype the core interaction early so you can validate the design before full build.

Do simulations work in our LMS and on mobile?

Yes. We build in HTML5 and package to SCORM, xAPI or cmi5 so results flow into your LMS, and we optimise for performance on mobile and low-bandwidth connections.

Can simulations be assessed and tracked?

Yes. Guided, practice and assessment modes capture decisions and outcomes via xAPI, so you can measure competence and behaviour, not just completion.

Are simulations accessible?

We design keyboard operation, captions, clear focus states and text alternatives to meet WCAG 2.2 AA as far as the interaction allows.
