SimFlow helps students build communication skills through interactive, AI-powered simulations. The **Students** section provides the resources you need to get started, practise through simulations, and review your performance.

### What you’ll find here

- **Getting Started** - Learn how to set up your account, configure your microphone, and navigate the Dashboard. 
- **Trigger Simulation** - Learn how to access and start simulations available to you. 
- **My Assessments** - Review your completed assessments, feedback, conversations, and performance. 
- **Troubleshooting & FAQ** - Find solutions to common issues and answers to frequently asked questions. 

Use the guides in this section to follow the student journey from getting started through completing simulations and reviewing your results.

### Understanding Your Role in SimFlow

As a student, you use SimFlow to complete simulations and review your own performance. Other parts of SimFlow are designed for staff who manage learning activities, while **cohorts** are used to organise students and assign learning content.

The comparison below gives you a quick overview of the difference between **Tutor Admin / Tutor**, **Student**, and **Cohort**.

### Tutor Admin / Tutor vs Student vs Cohort

| **Feature**          | **Tutor Admin / Tutor**                                                             | **Student**                                                                       | **Cohort**                                                                  |

| **What is it?**      | Staff role for managing learners, cohorts, simulations, libraries, and assessments. | Learner who completes simulations and reviews their own performance and feedback. | A group of students organised together for learning and content assignment. |
| **Main purpose**     | Manage and support student learning.                                                | Practise skills and complete simulations.                                         | Organise students and provide assigned learning content.                    |
| **Dashboard**        | Access management and learning tools based on role and permissions.                 | Access student tools such as **Library** and **My Assessments**.                  | Not a user account or dashboard.                                            |
| **Simulations**      | Access and manage simulations based on permissions.                                 | Complete available or assigned simulations.                                       | Can have libraries containing simulations assigned to it.                   |
| **Assessments**      | Review student assessments and their own assessments.                               | Review their own assessments and feedback.                                        | Groups students whose learning progress is managed together.                |
| **Access**           | Depends on whether the user is a **Tutor Admin** or **Tutor**.                      | Based on assigned learning content.                                               | Determines which assigned content students can access.                      |
| **Learning Content** | Can create, organise, and assign learning content based on permissions.             | Can access and complete assigned learning content.                                | Receives assigned learning content for its students.                        |
