SMMARTS-compliant simulators are capable of supporting remote learning of procedural skills with little or no modification using publicly available video conferencing software.

The senior instructor, junior instructor, and learner were physically separated in this demonstration. The junior instructor controlled the simulator tablet from a distance while viewing the session from the learner’s perspective via the camera mounted on the trainee’s head. The senior instructor coached the junior instructor from home.
