Built by Educators, for Educators
You became a broadcast teacher because you believe in the power of storytelling, teamwork, and real-world learning. BroadcastSIMS is here to help you bring that vision to life for every student in your classroom, not just the ones who get a turn at the switcher.
The Challenge You Know All Too Well
Live broadcast production is one of the most exciting, career-relevant skills a student can learn. But most programs face a familiar set of challenges: limited equipment means only a handful of students get hands-on time during any given class. New students struggle to keep up while experienced ones hold key positions for every production. Building meaningful assessments around production roles can feel like an afterthought when you're focused on getting the daily show on the air.
BroadcastSIMS was designed to solve these exact problems.

Every SIM includes structured, ready-to-teach lessons. Here's an example from SwitcherSIM Lesson 1.
