1. A computer interface of a computer-based learning system, comprising: (i) a meeting scene including one or more animated characters displayed on a monitor of a computer, the one or more animated characters rendered dynamically in real time by a physics system in response, at least in part, to data received from a micro-strategy system; (ii) an opinion bar associated with each of the one or more animated characters enabling a system user to input data indicative of support or opposition for each respective animated character, such inputted data resulting in a gesture from a character representative of the system user that conforms with the inputted data and is utilized by the micro-strategy system and physics system so that the one or more animated characters are rendered dynamically in real time in conformance with the inputted data; (iii) one or more idea windows displayed in the meeting scene, each idea window including an idea for consideration by the system user and the one or more animated characters, the position of each idea window indicative of a status of each respective idea; (iv) an opinion bar associated with each of the one or more idea windows enabling the system user to input data indicative of support or opposition for each respective idea, such inputted data resulting in a gesture from the character representative of the system user that conforms with the inputted data and is utilized by the micro-strategy system and physics system so that the one or more animated characters are rendered dynamically in real time in conformance with the inputted data; and (v) a progress bar associated with each of the one or more idea windows depicting the degree to which each idea is accepted by the user and the animated characters.
