DialogueTrainer allows students to practice conversational skills. Teachers can create their own simulation in which students practice conversational skills with a virtual character. The character responds with both text and emotion to the choices a student makes, and these choices lead to a score. Examples of scenarios you can create in DialogueTrainer include a conversation about bad news or a pharmaceutical consultation.

Students can practice difficult conversations this way, or you can offer the scenarios in preparation for the face-to-face conversations students have during class. Dialogue Trainer can be directly integrated into a course from Brightspace.
