Serious game is a one form of E-learning training，which enables learners toacquire information, to train skills and to develop attitude in the course of game. Itprovides professional training and simulation in an interesting and entertaining manner.Traditional E-learning mainly imparts cognitive knowledge, while serious games arescenario simulation and repeated trial and error, so the latter may provide opportunities topractice skills.

The paper alsoidentifies the deficiency of traditional E-learning training and illustrates the four majoradvantages of serious game. In Chapter3, based on theoretical studies of motivation theory,experiential learning theory, self-efficacy theory and flow theory and case analysis, theauthor puts forward the instructional design process of serious game with a view toproviding guidance for specific serious game instructional design.The author participates in the design and development of a sales serious game duringher internship with a training company. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the authordesigns and develops a sale serious game in accordance with the process mentioned. Andthis serious game is used to improve sales capacity and confidence of new sales staff.
