11. A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium that creates a business simulation utilizing a rule-based expert system with a spreadsheet object component that includes data, calculations required for the simulation and communication information to provide a goal-based educational environment, comprising: (a) a code segment that accesses the information in the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system to retrieve indicia representative of a goal; (b) a code segment that utilizes the information in the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system to integrate examples into the simulation to provide assistance with achieving the goal; (c) a code segment that monitors answers to questions posed to evaluate progress of a student toward the goal utilizing the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system and provides 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 individual coaching messages that further provides the student with assistance with achieving the goal; and (d) a code segment that provides information to assist with a next step in achieving the goal.
