Abstract: The present invention provides a method of creating a conversation in an educational simulation for a learner comprising the steps of providing simulation software code, providing a dynamic data model comprising tasks and statements, receiving a statement made by the learner, and generating a list of possible statements for the learner to make from the statements within the dynamic data model. Also provided is a system for performing the method.

Abstract: A method and system of creating an education simulation having a character that a learner interacts with is disclosed. The method includes providing a simulation interface through a simulation software code, wherein the character appears within the simulation interface, providing a data storage area for storing a trait of the character, the trait having a trait value, communicating possible statements and/or actions through the simulation interface to the learner, receiving from the learner a chosen statement or action from the possible statements and/or actions, responding to the statement or action chosen by the learner by providing a character response by the character, wherein the character response provided is determined by the trait value of the at least one trait, and generating new possible statements and/or actions for the learner contained within the data storage area.
