A key challenge for educators engaged in online virtual patient simulation development  is how to provide learners with opportunities to engage in realistic dialogue with virtual characters. Kognito and the Robert wood Foundation have partnered to bring a range of new scenarios to an already impressive repository previously developed by Kognito using their Conversation Platform. I've tried a demo of this technology recently, and although initially disappointed that it was limited to text based menu options was impressed by how nuanced the supported decision making became when based within a dialogic framework.
