Abstract:
A method for creating a business simulation utilizing a rule-based expert system with a spreadsheet object component that includes data and calculations required for the business simulation and communication of information to provide a dynamic, goal based educational learning experience, comprising the steps of:(a) accessing the information in the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system to retrieve information indicative of a goal and presenting the goal on a display;(b) utilizing the information in the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system to integrate goal-based remediation learning information feedback in a structured, dynamic business simulation designed by a profiling component to motivate accomplishment of the goal;(c) monitoring answers to questions posed to evaluate progress toward the goal utilizing the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system and providing dynamic, goal-based, remediation learning information feedback from a remediation object component including a knowledge system and a software tutor comprising an artificial intelligence engine which generates individualized coaching messages that further motivates accomplishment of the goal; and(d) analyzing the answers from the student utilizing system tools to compare the answers with a standard for achieving the goal.
