First Claim
Patent Images
1. An e-learning system allowing a user of the system to obtain mentoring and to collaborate with others over a computer system, the e-learning system comprising:
- a simulation presented to the user over the computer system, the simulation including a plurality of characters, the user role-playing one of the characters;
a mentoring opportunity in which the user is capable of receiving mentoring over the computer system based on the user'"'"'s actions in the simulation; and
a collaboration opportunity in which the user is capable of collaborating with others over the computer system.

18. An e-learning system allowing a user of the system to obtain mentoring over a computer system, the e-learning system comprising:
-
a self-assessment in which the user is accessed through a series of questions presented to the user;
a simulation presented to the user over the computer system, the simulation including a plurality of characters, the user role-playing one of the characters; and
a mentoring opportunity in which the user is capable of receiving mentoring over the computer system based on the user'"'"'s actions in the simulation, the mentoring coming at least in part from stored information;
the simulation, the characters and/or the stored information that is presented to the user being at least in part dictated by the self-assessment or an assessment of some kind submitted on behalf of the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
