  • Patent number: 7280991
    Abstract: 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 training 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 audio, video, graphics and animation used to simulate real-world environment and interactions. Multiple “correct” answers are integrated into the learning system to allow individualized learning experiences in which navigation through the system is at a pace controlled by the learner. Multiple “roles” are also available for the student to learn from each simulated environment from multiple viewpoints.

Multiple “correct” answers are integrated into the learning system to allow individualized learning experiances in which navigation through the system is at a pace controlled by the learner. Multiple users or students can utilize the simulated environment simultaniously and interactively from mupltiple viewpoints. A dynamic feedback system is utilized theat narrowly tailors feedback and focuses it based on the performance and characteristics of the student to assist the student in reaching a predefined goal.

  • Patent number: 7047279
    Abstract: 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 training opportunity to understand and solve optimally. The technique establishes a collaborative training session, including the steps of establishing a network connection between a plurality of users, selecting a mode for the network connection between the plurality of users, establishing a network connection mode between the plurality of users, and synchronizing the mode between the plurality of users. Modes of operation include application sharing, whiteboarding, media sharing, newsgroup information sharing chatroom initiation and discussion group initiation.

  • Publication number: 20030023686
    Abstract: 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 training opportunity to understand and solve optimally. The technique establishes a virtual consultant by connecting a virtual consultant server and one or more users, selects a destination within the virtual consultant server to interact with the one or more users, couples the one or more users through the virtual consultant server based on the selected destination, and establishes interaction parameters for the one or more users based on the selected destination. The interaction techniques include rules for one to one correspondence and one to many. The destinations include a lounge, virtual library and virtual resource center. Additional support is provided for distributing consulting materials electronically.
