Interactive simulations offer a safe, structured environment where students and (early-career) professionals can actively apply MI techniques in realistic conversations. It's an accessible way to connect theory with practice and prepare for the complexity of real-life client interactions.
MI is about timing, tone, and choosing your words carefully. Simulations help learners experiment with these elements in full conversations, not just fragments.
Each simulation offers detailed, concrete feedback that connects to MI theory, so learners understand what worked and why.
Simulations can be used independently, in class, or as part of a larger learning module, fitting into existing curricula with ease.
Provide validated practice material that aligns with the learning trajectory and integrates MI theory with applied experience. Focus classroom time on real challenges that students identify through their own online practice. Use dashboards to monitor individual progress and offer targeted feedback based on clear indicators.
Practice MI skills in a safe digital environment where experimenting and making mistakes is part of the learning process. Develop insight into behavioral change and how conversations can support it. Track your own progress with a clear dashboard, and share it with your teacher or supervisor for support.
A simulation-based learning environment combines lively interactions to experience challenges and theory as practical solutions.
As a self directed learner you gain practical experience with MI in a safe learning environment with clear feedback.
As a trainer, you challenge learners with goal directed experiences to which theory provides solutions, and monitor progress.

I was able to invite users and publish the scenario easily. My students were able to create their accounts and use the platform with little to no instruction from me, it was also easy for them to set up and navigate.
