Today’s L&D teams are being asked to do the impossible: build more learning, in less time, with fewer resources—without compromising quality. At best, this reality is daunting, and at worst, it’s been impossible.
With today's AI technology, designing an impactful program shouldn’t start from a blank page. With Smart Templates, you don’t have to. Teams can now create training programs fast—thanks to structured, proven templates that do the heavy-lifting for you.
Smart Templates are pre-built learning frameworks structured around proven microlearning methodologies that work regardless of subject matter. Whether teams are building leadership training, compliance modules, or technical skills development, they can trust they're using research-backed instructional design. L&D professionals can customize based on their specific content and context, achieving in hours what traditionally required weeks of instructional design and technical development.
Let’s explore how Smart Templates are helping teams move faster and with more confidence.
The Reality: Training Design Is Too Slow for Today’s Demands
The traditional training development process is full of friction. Designers get stuck building basic scaffolding. SMEs delay progress waiting on drafts. Stakeholders struggle to visualize anything before it’s finished.
It’s no longer enough to build great content, eventually. Instead, L&D teams are expected to act with urgency, so it’s no wonder learning teams feel overwhelmed. The pressure is real, and the blank page doesn’t make it any easier. From onboarding to sales enablement, companies need learning solutions they can implement now—not months from now.
While this is no easy feat, there is good news: speed doesn’t have to mean sacrifice. With the right structure in place, your team can move quickly and deliver something meaningful.
Custom Learning that's 70% Done, on Day One? Yes, Really.
The value of SimGate’s Smart Templates is unmatched across other learning technologies. With supercharged co-authoring, teams can now design and develop new courses that are 70% done on day one, and we really mean it.
Smart Templates are more than just formatted slides or starter docs. They’re AI-powered, scenario-ready design frameworks grounded in 20+ years of experience in simulation-based learning.
Each Smart Template includes:
- Pre-configured design methodology for a specific learning modality
- Built-in instructional logic, learning flow, and activities
- Flexibility built with the designer in mind, for rapid content customization
SimGate’s Current Smart Template Library includes:
- Microlearning: for just-in-time reinforcement or onboarding primers
- Starter simulations: for quick decision-based learning scenarios
- Good / Better / Best: simulations that build skill depth over time
And, we are just getting started. Our Smart Templates library is set to expand and provide new ways to turn good ideas into top-performing learning.
What Makes SimGate™ Smart Templates Smarter Than the Rest?
While many tools offer “templates”, few are grounded in the real complexities of human learning.
SimGate Smart Templates are:
- Flexible across formats—from live to self-paced
- Built to support Skills Practice—including feedback, scoring, and adaptive logic
- Integrated with SimGate Co-Author—SimGate’s AI design assistant, which helps refine, adapt, and accelerate your program build.
When you create with a Smart Template, you have the most powerful design tool at your fingertips.
Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you’re starting with proven frameworks carefully constructed by award-winning learning designers at The Regis Company, backed by the speed of AI. Better yet, these templates are business-oriented to adjust to your goals, audience, and content.
