Bring your courses closer to the field

Give students a more concrete view of the job and of the situations they will meet in the field. Soriston fits into teaching to prepare practical periods, illustrate professional contexts and enrich training paths, alongside lectures, practicals, placements and work-study.

Professional situations suited to many courses

Soriston can fit into very different courses as long as they prepare for concrete professional situations, environments or practices.

More concrete jobs

Help students understand earlier the environments, moves and decisions they will meet.

Landmarks before the field

Prepare a class before a practical, a placement, a work-study period or a first professional situation.

Shared situations

Have all the students concerned work on the same key situations, whatever their future job.

From classroom to field

Between understanding and doing, students need to rehearse the situation

Discovering the field sometimes comes late

Some students only discover the real environment during their placement, work-study or first practicals.

Practice time is limited

Technical facilities, equipment, supervision or available slots do not always allow as much repetition as desired.

Field experiences are uneven

Two students in the same class do not necessarily meet the same situations during their placement or work-study.

Building shared references

The teaching team needs shared situations to prepare, practise and debrief the key points of future jobs.

  1. Lectures & input Understand the principles Theory
  2. Soriston Rehearse the situation Training
  3. Real field Put it into practice in the real context Experience
Institution appeal

Make your teaching approach a differentiator

Bringing Soriston into some courses offers a more interactive learning experience, closer to the digital habits of students. Above all, the institution can show concretely how it prepares its students for the working world.

Showcase your courses

Show that your courses go beyond lectures and practicals, with new ways to discover and understand the field.

A more engaging student experience

Vary teaching formats and let students explore professional situations differently.

Stand out from recruitment onwards

At an open day, a fair or a course presentation, Soriston makes your teaching immediately more concrete and visible to future students.

Teaching innovation becomes visible before the very first class.
Teaching integration

Soriston fits into the key moments of the course

In class

Illustrate a concept with a professional situation and give context before moving to practice.

Before a practical

Get familiar with the environment, the steps, the points of attention or the decisions to take before the session.

Before a placement or work-study

Give landmarks on the situations, moves and behaviours expected before arriving in the professional environment.

After a hands-on situation

Go back over what was experienced, rework a specific point and consolidate what was learned with the teacher.

The same tool can prepare, support and extend the field experience.
Shared references

Give a whole class the same key situations to work on

Not all students meet the same situations during placements, work-study or practicals. Soriston lets the institution have all the students concerned work on a common base of reference situations, then use them in class or in debriefs.

The teacher’s role

Enrich hands-on situations without replacing the teacher

Soriston gives students a setting to practise, start again and revisit certain situations. The teacher decides how to integrate them into the course, brings the context, observes the results and turns the experience into learning through debrief and support.

The student practises. The teacher contextualises, questions and helps them progress.

Prepare

Introduce a situation before a class, a practical or a period in a company.

Observe

Spot the choices, errors and difficulties observed during Soriston training.

Debrief

Use the situation as a basis for individual or group discussion.

Reinforce

Rework the points that need more practice.

Link with the working world

Work on situations close to the target jobs

With a partner company, a professional site or a technical facility, some job situations can become reusable training material in the course. Students prepare on concrete cases, and the teaching team has a shared reference to work with.

For the institution

Make closeness to the field a hallmark of your courses

Soriston can be introduced on a targeted course to strengthen the place of professional situations in the path. The goal is not to add technology for its own sake, but to make field preparation more visible and more concrete.

Showcase your paths

Show teaching that links lessons to the situations students will meet in their future workplace.

Strengthen partnerships

Give partner companies a concrete place in the course by working from situations taken from the field.

Build on it from one class to the next

Reuse reference situations across several groups, then update them when practices change.

Uses

Concrete uses throughout the student journey

Discovering a job

Introduce an environment, its landmarks and its requirements before the first field experience.

Preparing practicals

Arrive at the session with a first understanding of the situation, the steps and the points of attention.

Preparing placements & work-study

Familiarise students with situations they may meet in a company.

Moves & procedures

Rehearse a sequence, an order of actions or a procedure before carrying it out for real.

Sensitive situations

Work on decision-making, safety, quality or customer relations in a training setting.

Consolidation

Review some situations after the field to analyse, correct and reinforce what was learned.

Learning follow-up

Follow what was worked on in Soriston, by group or by class

The results observed during training let teaching teams spot the situations that cause the most difficulty, prepare debriefs and decide where to reinforce practice. This data complements the observation and assessment carried out by teachers.

By class

Observe the trends of a group of students on the situations worked on.

By module

Spot the steps or decisions that need more explanation or practice.

By student

Find individual results when learning follow-up requires it.

A concrete case

A class prepares for its company placement

Before a placement or work-study period, the teaching team identifies the situations it wants all students to work on. Soriston complements the existing path to give them landmarks before the field, then serves as a basis for the debrief.

Choose the key situations

The teaching team selects the situations, moves or decisions every student must have worked on before leaving.

Integrate into the course

Training is used in class, before a practical or independently, depending on the chosen teaching organisation.

Get the class practising

Students train on the same reference situations and can start again when useful.

Debrief and reinforce

The teacher uses the results observed to revisit difficult points and prepare the rest of the path.

Rollout

Start with a targeted need. Extend afterwards.

Soriston can start with one class, one module, one course or a specific teaching case. The institution can then extend its use to other groups, subjects or campuses once teaching teams have validated it.

  1. A class A group or a class
  2. A course Several modules
  3. A campus Several classes
  4. The institution Wider rollout
