Systems and methods for computerized interactive skill training
First Claim
1. A distributed computerized training system comprising:
- an application server comprising a computing device;
a module data store;
a trainee terminal configured to communicate with the application server over a network;
non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that when executed by the application server, cause the application server to at least;
receive a selection of at least one training module from the module data store;
generate animation of at least a face of a customer or prospect;
cause the animation of the face of the customer or prospect to be displayed on a terminal accessible by a trainee and a facilitator;
cause the animation of the face to lip-sync a verbalization of a challenge corresponding to the training module selection, wherein the challenge includes a statement or question and the system produces the verbalization using a synthesized voice or a pre-recorded voice;
cause correct answer elements and corresponding scoring icons to be displayed on the terminal during the display of the animation of the, wherein in response to a given scoring icon being selected, a visual indication is provided;
record a verbalized trainee challenge response to the challenge from the trainee;
generate scoring data corresponding to the verbalized trainee challenge response based at least in part on scoring icon selections, the scoring data related to the confidence and/or style with which the trainee verbalized the challenge response;
cause at least a portion of the scoring data to be displayed on the trainee terminal in real time; and
select from the scenario segment data store a next challenge that is to be provided to the trainee.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to interactive training, and in particular, to methods and systems for computerized interactive skill training. An example embodiment provides a method and system for providing skill training using a computerized system. The computerized system receives a selection of a first training subject. A training challenge related to the first training subject is accessed from computer readable memory. The training challenge is provided to a user via a terminal, optionally in verbal form. A first score related to the correctness and/or completeness of a verbalized challenge response provided by the user is stored in memory. A second score related to how quickly the trainee provided the verbalized challenge response is stored in memory. A third challenge score related to the confidence and/or style with which the trainee verbalized the challenge response is stored in memory.
