SimBio

What SimBio is

SimBio is paid biology teaching software for college courses, available on macOS, Windows, and the web. It combines virtual labs, interactive chapters, simulations, and other activities for inquiry-driven learning, critical thinking, and active learning. Instructors can select modules in introductory biology, ecology, evolution, cell biology, genetics, and physiology, then combine them for a course. The web-based SimBio Active Learning System runs on Chromebooks and lets instructors customize materials, set assignments, and monitor student work. The classic SimUText System is installed locally, and its scores and submissions can be analyzed or exported to a learning management system. Students need an active subscription for course content, while assessment and organizational tools have no additional cost. College instructors may request a free Evaluation Platform account after verification. Plans include Virtual Labs at $7.50, paid once, Interactive Chapters at $11.50, paid once, Unlimited Labs at $49, paid once, and SimBio Unlimited at $89, paid once, each billed per student per term as listed.
