There are different ways to set up a simulation. One of the most intuitive - creating a 'right path' with a series of 'wrong answer' alternatives is, argues Clark Aldrich, the wrong way. "Students who go through these 'simulation-like' experiences are just as depressed and overwhelmed, and they forget content just as quickly, as if they had simply gone through the original, traditional linear written text." The appeal of a simulation is that it can create a more complex, less defined experience, more like real life. One way to obtain this is to create a matrix as seen above. Yes, there is a 'best' result (so it's still a bit of fiction) but there are numerous responses that are better than the worst.
