Abstract:
1. A method for analyzing performance in a network based training simulation, comprising the steps of: (a) presenting across a network a goal-based training simulation to a user for achieving a goal, wherein the goal is improving a user's decision-making process for his job; (b) integrating information into the training simulated utilizing the network that motivates achievement of the goal by the user; (c) measuring progress of the user towards achieving the goal utilizing the network; (d) providing feedback to the user utilizing the network that further motivates achievement of the goal, wherein the feedback is selected from at least three levels of feedback such that each of the three levels of feed back is progressively more detailed and the level of feedback selected is proportionate to a number of mistakes made by the user; (e) reporting the measured progress towards achievement of the goal utilizing the network; (f) comparing the measured progress of the user to a measurement of a subsequent other user's progress; and (g) gauging effectiveness of the training simulation in teaching achievement of the goal to the user based on the measured progress and the feedback.
