Patent Images
1. A simulation system, comprising:
- a processor;
a user console configured to allow a player to provide input to a simulation system and further configured to display a user interface comprising a simulation environment;
a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the processor and the user console, the computer-readable storage medium comprising;
a simulation engine module executable on the processor, the simulation engine module operable to receive input from the user console and to generate the simulation environment;
a user interface module executable on the processor, the user interface module operable to generate the user interface comprising the simulation environment;
an automated assessment module executable on the processor, the automated assessment module operable to identify a plurality of assessment-monitored events and to generate an evidence-based assessment associated with the plurality of assessment-monitored events based on one or more evaluated criteria; and
a simulation data file module executable on the processor, the simulation data file module operable to generate an automated assessment output file containing the evidence-based assessment.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automated assessment within a virtual environment. Interactive simulation systems have a variety of applications for education and/or training applications, including education, military, and corporate contexts. Evidence-based assessment models may be embedded into interactive simulation systems and may further enhance the utility of such systems by automating the assessment of the performance of participants in a simulation. Evidence-based assessments may be established using a variety of criteria, including completeness, accuracy of performance, timeliness of the learning task, etc.
