ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided for simulating a computer environment and evaluating a user's performance within a simulation which uses the computer environment. The method reads base data which defines a simulated component within a simulated computer environment. Initial condition data may also be read to modify a simulated component. The simulated computer environment is represented by executing one or more simulators to simulate actual software modules. A simulation is presented to a user. The simulation includes a scenario and a set of tasks to be completed. As the user interacts with the simulators, tasks completed by the user are recorded. Finally, the set of completed tasks are evaluated to determine a user's performance within the simulation. The system and method allows a simulation author to automatically define a set of possible tasks for a simulation by performing the desired tasks in the simulated computer environment. The system and method provides a robust evaluation process for simulations. Partial scores, weighted scores, partially weighted scores, and binary scores are provided, as well as rescoring of simulations and simulation-based exam question seeding.
