Patent number: 8360787Abstract: A system is disclosed that provides a goal based learning system utilizing a rule based expert training system to provide a cognitive educational experience. The system provides the user with a simulated environment that presents a business opportunity to understand and solve optimally. Mistakes are noted and remedial educational material presented dynamically to build the necessary skills that a user requires for success in the business endeavor. The system utilizes an artificial intelligence engine driving individualized and dynamic feedback with synchronized video and graphics used to simulate real-world environment and interactions. A robust business model provides support for realistic activities and allows a user to experience real world consequences for their actions and decisions and entails realtime decision-making and synthesis of the educational material. Techniques for process sensitive help are also integrated into the system to provide contextual examples to guide a user in performing a task.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Alexander Zorba, Sr., Eren Tolga Rosenfeld, Benoit Patrick Bertrand, Eric Jeffrey Lannert, Kerry Russell Wills
