1. A computer system comprising:
- a memory storing data descriptive of a plurality of dialogue options, each dialogue option of the plurality of dialogue options comprising conversational text used in two-way interpersonal communication;
a user interface comprising a display;
at least one processor coupled to the memory and the user interface; and
an assessment component for evaluating proficiency of at least one user within one or more competencies, the assessment component being executable by the at least one processor and configured to;
initiate an interactive scenario associated with the one or more competencies;
present, via the display as part of the interactive scenario, at least one computer-simulated character oriented to face the at least one user;
receive, from the at least one user via the user interface, input to start, as part of the interactive scenario, a conversation between the at least one user and at least one computer-simulated character;
start the conversation in response to receiving the input;
conduct the conversation to form a back and forth dialogue in which the at least one user converses with the at least one computer-simulated character via a plurality of responses selected from dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options that are directed to the at least one computer-simulated character and the at least one computer-simulated character converses with the at least one user via communications directed to the at least one user via the display;
record a score for each response of the plurality of responses selected from the dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options by the at least one user during the conversation, thereby recording a plurality of scores;
determine one or more overall scores for the one or more competencies based on the plurality of scores; and
determine one or more proficiency levels for the one or more competencies demonstrated by the at least one user based on the one or more overall scores.

Abstract
A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a memory, at least one processor coupled to the memory, and an assessment component executed by the at least one processor. The assessment component is configured to execute a conversation between at least one user and a computer-simulated character and determine a competency level displayed by the at least one user based on at least one response option received during the conversation. In the computer system, the at least one response option may include a plurality of response options and the assessment component may be configured to calculate an overall score based on the plurality of response options.

1. A computer system comprising:
-
a memory storing data descriptive of a plurality of dialogue options, each dialogue option of the plurality of dialogue options comprising conversational text used in two-way interpersonal communication; a user interface comprising a display; at least one processor coupled to the memory and the user interface; and an assessment component for evaluating proficiency of at least one user within one or more competencies, the assessment component being executable by the at least one processor and configured to; initiate an interactive scenario associated with the one or more competencies; present, via the display as part of the interactive scenario, at least one computer-simulated character oriented to face the at least one user; receive, from the at least one user via the user interface, input to start, as part of the interactive scenario, a conversation between the at least one user and at least one computer-simulated character; start the conversation in response to receiving the input; conduct the conversation to form a back and forth dialogue in which the at least one user converses with the at least one computer-simulated character via a plurality of responses selected from dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options that are directed to the at least one computer-simulated character and the at least one computer-simulated character converses with the at least one user via communications directed to the at least one user via the display; record a score for each response of the plurality of responses selected from the dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options by the at least one user during the conversation, thereby recording a plurality of scores; determine one or more overall scores for the one or more competencies based on the plurality of scores; and determine one or more proficiency levels for the one or more competencies demonstrated by the at least one user based on the one or more overall scores. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of evaluating proficiency of at least one user within one or more competencies using a computer system, the computer system comprising a display, the method comprising:
-
initiating, by the computer system, an interactive scenario associated with the one or more competencies; presenting, by the computer system via the display as part of the interactive scenario, at least one computer-simulated character oriented to face the at least one user; receiving, by the computer system from the at least one user, input to start, as part of the interactive scenario, a conversation between the at least one user and at least one computer-simulated character; starting, by the computer system, the conversation in response to receiving the input; conducting, by the computer system, the conversation to form a back and forth dialogue in which the at least one user converses with the at least one computer-simulated character via a plurality of responses selected from dialogue options of a plurality of dialogue options that are directed to the at least one computer-simulated character and the at least one computer-simulated character converses with the at least one user via communications directed to the at least one user via the display, each dialogue option of the plurality of dialogue options comprising conversational text used in two-way interpersonal communication; recording a score for each response of the plurality of responses selected from the dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options by the at least one user during the conversation, thereby recording a plurality of scores; determining one or more overall scores for the one or more competencies based on the plurality of scores; and determining one or more proficiency levels for the one or more competencies demonstrated by the at least one user based on the one or more overall scores. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for evaluating proficiency of at least one user within one or more competencies using a computer system comprising a display and at least one processor coupled to the display, the instructions encoded to instruct the at least one processor to:
-
initiate, an interactive scenario associated with the one or more competencies; present, via the display as part of the interactive scenario, at least one computer-simulated character oriented to face the at least one user; receive, from the at least one user, first input to start, as part of the interactive scenario, a conversation between the at least one user and at least one computer-simulated character; start the conversation in response to receiving the first input; conduct the conversation to form a back and forth dialogue in which the at least one user converses with the at least one computer-simulated character via a plurality of responses selected from dialogue options of a plurality of dialogue options that are directed to the at least one computer-simulated character and the at least one computer-simulated character converses with the at least one user via communications directed to the at least one user via the display, each dialogue option of the plurality of dialogue options comprising conversational text used in two-way interpersonal communication; record a score for each response of the plurality of responses selected from the dialogue options of the plurality of dialogue options by the at least one user during the conversation, thereby recording a plurality of scores; determine one or more overall scores for the one or more competencies based on the plurality of scores; and determine one or more proficiency levels for the one or more competencies demonstrated by the at least one user based on the one or more overall scores.
