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 and calculations required for the business simulation and communication of information to provide a goal based educational environment, comprising: (a) a code segment that receives indicia representative of a goal from the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system; (b) a code segment that utilizes the information in the spreadsheet object component of the rule-based expert system to integrate goal based learning examples into the business simulation in a structured, dynamic business simulation designed by a profiling component 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 individualized coaching messages that further provides the student with assistance in accomplishing the goal; (d) a code segment that analyzes the answers from the student utilizing system tools to compare the answers with a standard for achieving the goal; and (e) a code segment that provides a linkage to a website of information to supplement the information stored in the spreadsheet object component to assist with achieving the goal.
