Abstract

A virtual environment (400) for solving business-oriented problems by interactive-collaborative learning involving one or more participants (406) that are monitored by a facilitator (404). The virtual environment for facilitating collaborative decision-making is implemented on an interactive distributed network. Upon 'entering' the virtual environment, each participant chooses a virtual persona or 'avatar' and each participant may navigate through the virtual environment individually or with other participants. The facilitator guides and monitors participants' navigation through the virtual environment and the facilitator may prompt the participants to negotiate complex problems presented by a software application to reach collaborative decisions. Additionally, the facilitator may interact one-to-one with each participant or with a selective group of participants or with all of the participants. Each participant utilizes a three-dimensional application that is executed on a client computer system and the facilitator's functions and other functions relating to the virtual environment may be stored on a server computer.
