Computer based education for use with multiuser software

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a system to perform:

• initiating an instructional program for a first human user at a client device, said instructional program having a plurality of client devices logged in to a common server, each client device associated with a different human user;
• receiving a request from the first human user to participate in an interactive session of the instructional program, wherein each interactive session includes one or more other human users from the plurality of human users;
• determining that the first human user has not yet completed a training requirement to participate in an interactive session;
• responsive to the determining:
• launching a training session instead of an interactive session, said training session providing the user an interactive computing environment through which the user attempts to achieve an objective, wherein during said training session the user is interacting only with a plurality of automated participants, wherein each automated participant is controlled by a bot, and wherein each of the plurality of bots is initiated with a predetermined level of artificial intelligence, and wherein during said training session the first user is prevented from interacting with any other human participants;
• determining whether the user has completed the objective while the plurality of automated participants have at least a predefined level of artificial intelligence;
• incrementing the predetermined level of artificial intelligence when the user has completed the objective and the plurality of automated participants do not have at least the predefined level of artificial intelligence;
• repeating the launching, determining, and incrementing steps until the user has completed the objective while the plurality of automated participants have at least the predefined level of artificial intelligence;
• and
• only after determining that the user has achieved the objective in the training session with the plurality of automated participants having the predefined threshold level of artificial intelligence, permitting the user to launch an interactive session, that includes one or more human participants.

A method comprising:

• initiating a game client configured to provide a simulated three-dimensional virtual environment;
• responsive to a user providing first user input, initiating a tutorial session having a first objective;
• responsive to a user providing second user input, initiating a first training session having a second objective, wherein in each training session the user competes only against a plurality of bot participants in the simulated three-dimensional virtual environment and wherein in each training session the user is prevented from interacting with any other human participants;
• and
• responsive to a user providing third user input, initiating a dynamic session having the second objective, wherein when a first predetermined condition is met, the dynamic session is a second training session comprising stimuli presented to the user, said stimuli representative of a dynamic session, and said stimuli selected from a group comprising a chat message containing a typographical error, and a username of a human participant not participating in the training session, and wherein when a second predetermined condition is met, the dynamic session includes a plurality of other human participants.
