Behavioral intelligence framework, content management system, and tool for constructing same

A computer-implemented tool for building a backend content management system for an interactive, computer-implemented behavior change-based lesson delivery system, comprising:

• a user interface implemented by a processor programmed to receive input from a content creating user of the computer-implemented tool;
• a lesson manager implemented by the processor programmed to generate a decision tree structure and to populate that tree structure with first content in accordance with input received from the user via the user interface to define a lesson comprising a plurality of lesson pages stored in memory;
• and
• a virtual educator manager implemented by the processor programmed to store in memory a plurality of different graphical images of an educator character, each image corresponding to a different facial expression or gesture, the virtual educator manager implemented by the processor being further programmed to respond based on input received from the user via the user interface by associating and storing in memory a selected one of the plurality of different graphical images with selected ones of said lesson pages.

• and
• an impact manager implemented by a processor programmed to define in memory a data structure in which to store a date when the lesson was completed by a person using the lesson delivery system and programmed to compute a predefined interval after the stored date representing a later date on which to issue a stage-of-change impact questionnaire.

An interactive computer-implemented behavior change-based lesson delivery system, comprising:

• a processor programmed to serve interactive content to a user through a computer-implemented browser, the processor having associated memory and being programmed to implement the following:
• a decision tree structure in memory populated with first content to define a lesson comprising a plurality of lesson pages, the processor being programmed to cause the browser to display selected ones of the plurality of lesson pages based on browser interaction by the user;
• a virtual educator data structure in memory populated with different graphical images of an educator character, each image corresponding to a different facial expression or gesture, the processor being programmed to cause the browser to selectively display a different one of said graphical images in association based on browser interaction by the user by the user;
• a links data structure in memory populated with a plurality of links corresponding to second content to supplement the first content and defining conditional references associating selected links with selected lesson pages, the processor being programmed to permit the expression of associated links with the lesson pages if the link is determined to present live information to the browser and being programmed to suppress expression of associated links if the link is determined not to present live information to the browser;
• an impact manager data structure in memory and accessible by the processor to store a date when a lesson was completed, the processor being programmed to compute a predefined interval after the stored date and to issue a change impact questionnaire to the user if the predefined interval has expired.
