One of the key benefits that e-learning can deliver is a safe environment in which learners can make mistakes, learn from them, and reflect on how to avoid them on the job. The most effective way of doing this is through the design and development of soft skill simulations. But how do you go about it in rapid e-learning? In this Rapid Guide, we bring our considerable experience in designing simulations to the table, and explain: What a soft skills simulation is and the different types; how to take a rapid approach to simulation development through a four step process; how to involve SMEs to the best effect.
