SODA powered by CORYS

With SODA, train operators can conduct simulator training on handheld devices making both classroom and on-site training. CORYS cloud simulators are ideal for student-led learning, part task training, take-home assignments, new rule assessments, troubleshooting. Students are able to access a library of scenarios to brush up on skills and review new routes from their tablet. SODA uses the same scenarios and software found on larger simulators, including all 3D imagery and train model functionalities, and is fully integrated into the CORYS software suite. Instructors are able to create and manage scenarios from their existing Learning Management System. In a training centre environment, SODA can serve as a supplementary resource, used on a standalone basis or to liven up a classroom session. Trainers can encourage engagement and memorisation by alternating between theory, PowerPoint visuals accompanied by a commentary, and exercises on a tablet. Students can review and practice procedures with on their tablets before being evaluated on the larger system. SODA uses a central server (hosted locally on-site, or using a remote host) to run the simulations and interface with the LMS and the SODA device. Server availability is determined by the number of simultaneous connections requested.
