# Welcome to SIMnet

SIMnet is an online learning and assessment platform for Microsoft Office, data analytics, computer concepts, and generative AI.

### What does SIMnet do?

* **Interactive learning:** Students work through **Show Me**, **Guide Me**, and **Let Me Try** activities in a simulated environment. This helps them practice tasks before completing graded work.
* **Auto-graded projects:** Projects are completed in the application and graded automatically when uploaded to SIMnet. This reduces manual grading time and gives students faster feedback.
* **Certification prep:** SIMnet includes certification-aligned content and capstone projects to help students prepare for Microsoft Office Specialist exams.
* **Digital credentials:** Students can earn digital badges and certificates to show completed milestones and verified skills.
* **LMS integration:** SIMnet works with learning management systems so students can launch assignments and instructors can keep grades aligned.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.simnetonline.com/instructor-experience/getting-started/welcome-to-simnet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
