With the booming of e-learning technology and Internet development, it is a trend to apply e-learning platform in education. However, to develop the proper digital learning contents is also an important research issue in the future. Especially, the learners are the center component in the e-learning environment. The development and design of digital learning contents should be met to learners’ cognitive requirements. Therefore, this study applied the multimedia technology and role-playing digital game model to develop a learning content, which names “The Adventure of Vanillas” for improving children’s learning performance. At last, the study through a 2x2 factors experimental design (two learners’ cognitive x two modes of multimedia presentation) to verify the effects of independent variables on the subjects’ learning performance. Subjects were 4th graders from elementary school. All the subjects were classified to field independent group and field dependent group based on GEFT scores. A test was administered both before and after the experiment to exam the effects of the learning. The results revealed the developed digital learning content could improve the learning performance of two cognitive style subjects. However, the all results from this study can serve as references for the development and design of multimedia e-learning contents in the future.
