Patent number: 8429112Abstract: 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. The system is architectured around a table of components to manage and control the system.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Eren Tolga Rosenfeld, Ekpedeme Mfon Bassey, Beth Elyse Zadik, Martha Torrey O'Connor, Alexander Han Leung Poon, Eric Jeffrey Lannert, Tracey Andrea Solomon, Jonathan Christian Conant, Alexander Zorba, Carl Michael Puccio, Timothy John Gobran, James Andrew Gilchrist, Mark Stewart Nichols, Brandon Denning Fleisher, Craig William Friedman, Adebisi Detoro Lipede, Matthew Allen Bailey
