In particular, it can be targeted at some high-risk areas of knowledge, through simulated teaching materials, allowing learners in a safe environment through a process of trial and error to learn, can utilize what they have learned in practical situations in order to avoid inert knowledge. Many in the digital content companies have begun to develop similar simulated teaching materials, but the quality and methods are to be reinforced. Regardless of the trends from abroad, or domestic and foreign experts, simulations to digital learning content can be regarded a new trend. From foreign manufacturers of digital learning materials have come on soft skills simulation research and development trends, the market of simulation will be more diversified. In addition, with the help of the rapid software tools, instructional designers are more convenient for develop simulated teaching materials. However, from the perspective of instructional design to examine these simulated teaching materials, there are found that lack of uniform and a quality assurance model of development of teaching materials and evaluation indicators. There is very little relevant research on this issue. This project is intended to be three-year period. Based on situational simulation and scenarios-based theory, it aims to propose various types of simulation for education and training materials with development models, and establishment of the evaluation indicators. The project follows the categories of simulation by Brandall Hall (2006), and Alessi & Trollip (2001). Both of them have mentioned two types of simulation, concerned about soft skills of interpersonal and the procedural hard skills. In the first year, the study proposes the design principles of simulation and a model of developing simulation. The study also develops simulations of the topics on soft skills and procedural hard skills as examples. In the second year through the empirical study assessed the various types of simulations, and its application of the feasibility of the development model. The third year based on the results of the previous two years, the development of simulation teaching materials, evaluation indicators and teaching materials development model are constructed. Besides, e-Learning Situational Simulation and scenario-based theory are also amended accordingly to provide the digital learning industry and academia in the development of simulations.[[sponsorship]]行政院國家科學委員
