SIM Lead Role

Jason Carroll Updated by Jason Carroll

SIM Leads are experienced simulation authors who help protect the quality and consistency of our SIMs. They make sure the process, templates, and three levers (Topic, Objectives, Scenario) are being used correctly, and they step in when something starts to drift or break. They shadow other authors, catch problems early, share what they learn, and help route bigger issues to the right people. Their job is to keep SIMs scalable, aligned, and working the way they’re meant to.

Current SIM Leads:

  • John Carmichael (Instructional Designer)
  • Dan Taylor (Instructional Designer)
  • Vince Iglesias-Cardinale (Instructional Designer)
  • Jason Carroll (Instructional Technology Associate)

Contact a SIM Lead if you run into any of the following:

  • The SIM is breaking the fourth wall or going out of character
  • The counterpart is giving away answers or acting like a coach
  • The SIM doesn’t seem aligned to the activity it replaces
  • You’re not sure how to adjust the Topic, Objectives, or Scenario
  • The SIM Utility, vector store, or embedding behavior seems wrong
  • You feel stuck and don’t know whether it’s a content issue or a system issue

What SIM Leads Support (and What They Don’t Replace)

SIM Leads are here to guide and support, but they don’t replace the existing process or roles. Specifically, they do not:

  • Take over SIM writing or rewrite SIMs for others
  • Change or bypass the template or manual
  • Make platform or engineering changes
  • Replace the standard Wrike or QA workflows

Their role is to help you work within the system effectively.
