Goal based system tailored to the characteristics of a particular user
First Claim
1. A method for creating a presentation on a computer system, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving, through a user interface of the computer system, goal-related information indicative of a goal, the goal-related information specifying one or more learning objectives of the presentation, the goal being associated with a training objective;
(b) querying, through the user interface of the computer system, a user for user-related information based on said one or more leaning objectives of the presentation;
(c) analyzing, by a processor of the computer system, the user-related information from user responses to ascertain user characteristics;
(d) integrating, by the processor, instruction-related information that motivates accomplishment of the goal for use in the presentation, through a display interface of the computer system, based on the user characteristics; and
(e) evaluating progress toward the goal, by the processor, and providing feedback, through the display interface of the computer system, based on the user characteristics that further motivates accomplishment of the goal.

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. The system utilizes 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 individual 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 real-time decision making and synthesis of the educational material. The system characterizes a user to tailor the presentation.
