title: Enabling surgeons to create simulation-based teaching modules.
abstract: To broaden the use of simulation for teaching, in particular of new procedures and of low-volume procedures, we propose an environment and workflow that allows surgeon-educators create teaching modules. Our challenge is to make the simulation tools accessible, modifiable and sharable by users with moderate computer and VR experience. Our contribution is a workflow that promotes consistency between instructional material and measured criteria and makes the authoring process efficient, both for the surgeon, and for computer scientists supporting the simulation environment.
