20150310748 | ACTIVE TRAINING PLATFORM AND ENVIRONMENT - The invention allows for the ability to gather data, assess, test, certify, and provide feedback in any live environment (including, but not limited to, an application, a web application, or a physical environment), in real time, via any data interface (such as an API). This is accomplished by establishing a real-time link between the live environment and an ActiveTraining engine. The ActiveTraining engine has many different applications, including, but not limited to, training, certification, HR screening, skills assessment, and product evaluation. By delivering a live environment to an end-user, and by tracking the users activity in real-time and providing meaningful feedback to the user, it can deliver a unique experience that not only allows a user to immediately expand know-how and practical use of the environment, but also reports back real-time data that lets it analyze many different elements of the user's interactions with the environment. | 10-29-2015 |
