Strengthening Educator Capacity Through Virtual Simulations
Through the Embedding Virtual Simulations (EVS) workshops, +550 educators from across Canada have strengthened their ability to integrate virtual simulations into teaching and learning. Delivered by Simulation Canada through the Virtu-WIL program, these interactive sessions provide practical strategies, peer learning opportunities, and expert guidance to help educators enhance student engagement and workplace readiness. New EVS workshop cohorts will be offered in Fall 2026, continuing to support educators in building innovative, simulation-based learning experiences. Consult opportunities to learn more.
