Claim 12:
13. A method for providing computerized training to a student, said method comprising:
providing a computer system with computer-accessible data storage supporting a rules engine thereon, the computer system being in data communication with a training station configured to interact with the student;
providing lesson data to the rules engine, said lesson data comprising:
learning object data defining a number of learning objects that each, when activated by the rules engine, cause the training station to output visual imagery, audio or other output, and
rule data defining a plurality of rules on which the rules engine operates so as to administer the computerized training, said rules each having a data condition part and an action part, the data condition part defining a state of data in the data storage that, when present, causes the rules engine to direct the computerized system to take a predetermined action, at least some of said actions comprising activating at least some of the learning objects to interact with the student at the training station;

causing the computerized training to be administered to the student at the training station according to the rules stored in the data storage; and
determining repeatedly or continually an assessment measure for the student based on input received from the student at the training station for assessing knowledge, skill and ability (KSA) of the student;
wherein the rule data defines at least one rule that initiates the action when the assessment measure is below a predetermined value, the action including initiating operation on the training station of one of the stored learning objects,
collecting, using a biometric sensor, biometric data about the student;
wherein the rules include one or more rules that initiate actions responsive to a data condition wherein the biometric data indicates circumstances for a break, and said actions include offering the student a break, and
wherein determining the assessment measure comprises using the biometric data to assess the KSA of the student based on the biometric data.
