Goal based system utilizing a time based model
First Claim
1. A computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium for creating a presentation, comprising:
- (a) a reception source code segment comprising source code for receiving information indicative of a goal;
(b) an integration source code segment comprising source code for integrating information that motivates accomplishment of the goal for use in the presentation;
(c) a synchronization source code segment comprising source code for synchronizing events in the presentation utilizing a time based model, for presenting, to a user, a selected predetermined list of actions during each time period to perform a simulated company task for a simulated business activity, and for receiving a user selection from the selected list of actions during each said time period, wherein the simulated business activity is partitioned into at least two time periods; and
(d) an evaluation source code segment comprising source code for evaluating progress toward the goal and providing feedback that further motivates accomplishment of the goal utilizing the time based model to control the presentation of information based on the user selection.

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 training 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. The system uses an artificial intelligence engine driving individualized and dynamic feedback with synchronized video and graphics used to simulate real-world environment and interactions. 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 is architected around a time based model to manage and control the system.

13. An apparatus that creates a presentation, comprising:
-
(a) a processor; (b) a memory that stores information under control of the processor; (c) logic that integrates information that motivates accomplishment of the goal for use in the presentation; (d) logic that synchronizes events in the presentation utilizing a time base model, that presents, to a user, a selected predetermined list of actions during each time period to perform a simulated company task for a simulated business activity and that receives a user selection from the selected predetermined list of actions during each said time period, wherein the simulated business is partitioned into at least two time periods; (e) logic that evaluates progress toward the goal; and (f) logic that provides feedback, responsive to a progress indication, hat further motivates accomplishment of the goal utilizing the time based model to control the presentation of information based on the user selection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)
