Event Based System For Use Within The Creation And Implementation Of Educational Simulations

US Patent:
7016880, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
Sep 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/668004
Inventors:
David L. Adams - Mesa AZ, US
Scott L. Mitchell - Paradise Valley AZ, US
Dariush Navabi - Phoenix AZ, US
Jean-Paul O'Brien - Nederland CO, US
Salvatore R. Sferlazza - Nanuet NY, US
Malcolm P. Youngren - Chicago IL, US
Teddy D. Zmrhal - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
SmartForce PLC - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/00, G06F 17/20
US Classification:
706 11, 706 14, 706 46
Abstract:
A method and system of creating an education simulation having a character that a learner interacts with is disclosed. The method includes providing a simulation interface through a simulation software code, wherein the character appears within the simulation interface, providing a data storage area for storing a trait of the character, the trait having a trait value, communicating possible statements and/or actions through the simulation interface to the learner, receiving from the learner a chosen statement or action from the possible statements and/or actions, responding to the statement or action chosen by the learner by providing a character response by the character, wherein the character response provided is determined by the trait value of the at least one trait, and generating new possible statements and/or actions for the learner contained within the data storage area.
