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 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. 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. 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 includes tools for analysis, logging and display of regression analysis information for a presentation as it is presented.

19. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for creating a presentation to a user, comprising:
-
presenting information indicative of a goal, the goal being associated with a skill required for the user in a business endeavor; integrating information that motivates accomplishment of the goal; monitoring progress toward the goal and providing feedback that further motivates accomplishment of the goal, wherein; the feedback is characterized by a set of profiles and topics; the profiles trigger the topics in a concept tree to obtain a plurality of activated topics; and the feedback is selected from the plurality of activated topics in the concept tree by; identifying a top-most target group with an activated topic; if the top-most target group is a first type of feedback, selecting that feedback for display to the user without examining any other activated topics; and if the top-most target group is a second type of feedback different from the first type of feedback, grouping the activated feedback in the children target groups and assembling it into a feedback paragraph for display to the user; and performing regression analysis of the computer-executable instructions as the presentation subsequently executes. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An apparatus that creates a presentation to a user, comprising:
-
a processor that executes a computer program to support the presentation; a memory that stores information under the control of the processor; logic that presents information indicative of a goal, the goal being associated with a skill required for the user in a business endeavor; logic that integrates information that motivates accomplishment of the goal; logic that monitors progress toward the goal and provides feedback that further motivates accomplishment of the goal, wherein; the feedback is characterized by a set of profiles and topics; the profiles trigger the topics in a concept tree to obtain a plurality of activated topics; and the feedback is selected from the plurality of activated topics in the concept tree by; identifying a top-most target group with an activated topic; if the top-most target group is a first type of feedback, selecting that feedback for display to the user without examining any other activated topics; and if the top-most target group is a second type of feedback different from the first type of feedback, grouping the activated feedback in the children target groups and assembling it into a feedback paragraph for display to the user; and logic that performs regression analysis of the computer program as the presentation subsequently executes. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:
-
presenting information indicative of a goal, the goal being associated with a skill required for a user in a business endeavor; integrating information that motivates accomplishment of the goal; monitoring progress toward the goal and providing feedback that further motivates accomplishment of the goal, wherein; the feedback is characterized by a set of profiles and topics; the profiles trigger the topics in a concept tree to obtain a plurality of activated topics; and the feedback is selected from the plurality of activated topics in the concept tree by; identifying a top-most target group with an activated topic; if the top-most target group is a first type of feedback, selecting that feedback for display to the user without examining any other activated topics; and if the top-most target group is a second type of feedback different from the first type of feedback, grouping the activated feedback in the children target groups and assembling it into a feedback paragraph for display to the user; and performing regression analysis of the computer-executable instructions as the presentation subsequently executes. - View Dependent Claims (38)
