BEHAVIORAL INTELLIGENCE FRAMEWORK, CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND TOOL FOR CONSTRUCTING SAME

摘要

A computer-implemented tool having a collection of content management subsystems allows the content creator to construct a web-based behavioral modification site without the need for computer programming skills. The content delivery system constructed with this tool employs a lesson manager that delivers lesson content based on a tree structure; a virtual educator manager that presents different graphical images of an educator character, complete with different facial expressions and gestures designed to facilitate learning; a link manager that supplements lesson content with links to supplemental material and automatically suppresses dead links; and an impact manager that automatically administers a stage-of-change questionnaire a predefined time interval after the lesson was completed.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented tool for building a backend content management system for an interactive, computer-implemented behavior change-based lesson delivery system, comprising:
a user interface implemented by a processor programmed to receive input from a content creating user of the computer-implemented tool; a lesson manager implemented by the processor programmed to generate a decision tree structure and to populate that tree structure with first content in accordance with input received from the user via the user interface to define a lesson comprising a plurality of lesson pages stored in memory; a virtual educator manager implemented by the processor programmed to store in memory a plurality of different graphical images of an educator character, each image corresponding to a different facial expression or gesture, the virtual educator manager implemented by the processor being further programmed to respond based on input received from the user via the user interface by associating and storing in memory a selected one of the plurality of different graphical images with selected ones of said lesson pages; a link manager implemented by the processor programmed to store a plurality of links autonomously from the lesson, the links corresponding to second content to supplement the first content, the link manager implemented by the processor being further programmed to respond based on input received from the content creating user via the user interface to define a conditional reference between a lesson page and the second content that is programmed to test at runtime of the change-based lesson delivery system whether the referenced second content is available and to suppress the link if it is not available; an impact manager implemented by a processor programmed to define in memory a data structure in which to store a date when the lesson was completed by a person using the lesson delivery system and programmed to compute a predefined interval after the stored date representing a later date on which to issue a stage-of-change impact questionnaire.
