Scenario-based learning and workplace simulations that build real-world judgement and skills
The quickest and easiest way to build quality interactive learning
No coding. No complex tools. AI-assisted workflow & content generation
Create and share scored, trackable branching scenarios, gamified content and simulations with video, 360° and immersive media to scale role play, improve real-world decisions and reduce organisational risk.
- Works with all major Learning Management Systems
- Complements tools such as Articulate Storyline and Rise, Vyond, Canva, Synthesia
- SCORM, LTI and xAPI compatible
Loved by learners. Easy for creators.
Turn real world situations into repeatable, measurable learning experiences
Near-Life lets you create interactive video simulations that mirror the real-world decisions your people face - from patient conversations to safety checks, compliance challenges, customer escalations, and frontline operations.
Learners practise decisions, explore consequences, and build confidence in a safe environment - while you gain data that traditional eLearning cannot provide.
"You're doing what others are trying to do but in such a simple and easy way."

"We love your software... it's becoming an integral part of our business."
Beth Goodwin, Program Manager, CMEology
"400,000 people every year learn to save a life through our training programmes, so it is exciting to have created this scenario-based learning with the potential to reach many more people in an effective online format."
Karen Wain, Training Products Manager at St John Ambulance
"Utilising digital media that mimics real life, aids delivery of training that is meaningful vs an artificial classroom setting.”
Lindsay Hallworth, Innovation Manager, NHS
"Your team are a pleasure to work with."

Designed for teams where behaviour really matters
Near-Life is used by learning professionals working for organisations in:
- Healthcare & Pharma
- Public Sector & Blue-Light Services
- Telecoms & Utilities
- Financial Services
- Higher Education
- Global NGOs
- Learning Agencies
If your people need to make better decisions in high-stakes or complex situations, Near-Life is built for you.
With Near-Life, you can:
- Replace inconsistent classroom role-play
- Standardise behaviour practice across teams
- Give learners a safe place to fail and try again
- Capture detailed behaviour data at both individual and cohort level
- Track performance, risk areas, and improvement over time
- Link simulation outcomes to real-world performance
See how people make decisions - not just whether they passed
Near-Life captures every decision a learner makes, where they hesitate, which paths they choose, and how their judgement develops over time.
Use these insights to coach more effectively, reduce risk, and continuously improve your training.
You'll be in good company
Build interactive learning content in four simple steps
Map your scenario
Use intuitive branching tools or AI-assisted generation to outline the decisions, consequences, and learner pathways.
Set logic, scoring & feedback
Define branching outcomes, apply scoring, add debriefs, and create feedback screens tailored to learner choices.
Add your media
Upload your existing videos, images, slides, or screen recordings — or generate new assets using integrated AI media options.
Publish anywhere
Embed within Storyline or Rise, deliver directly through your LMS, or embed and share anywhere. Compatible with SCORM/xAPI/LTI.
Fast to build. Simple to update. Easy to scale.
Simulation power without the complexity
Traditional elearning can’t handle rich branching. It can take months to build complex learning paths, or require expensive tools and specialist skills. Near-Life changes this:
- Higher-fidelity than typical authoring tools
- More immersive than simple interactive video tools
- Much faster than custom development
- More cost-effective and easier to use than alternatives
- No specialist skills needed
This is simulation design made for real-world L&D teams, not specialist studios.
Fits your existing workflows
A perfect complement to the tools you already use
Near-Life enhances your existing tools, integrating seamlessly with Storyline, Rise, and your LMS. It also allows you to leverage other content generation tools like Vyond and Synthesia, so you can upgrade behaviour training without changing how you build your courses.
Use Near-Life to add:
- Branching scenarios
- Video-based role-plays
- Complex decision trees
- Realistic scenario challenges
- Consistent behaviour practice
- Immersive tours and experiences
…all into the courses you already create.
