Abstract
One area of research exploration is how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Chinese undergraduates learn composition by employing digital learning websites as a cognitive tool. This study´s main goal is to design an online case-based learning website employing the concepts of a serious game to motivate students EFL learning. The preinciples of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and CBR website design were discussed. A usability test verified the effectiveness of two central questions regarding the website: (a) what are the undergraduates usability and functionality problems? (b) how satisfied are the undergraduates? The students showed good impressions for the website usability and functionality. Users were free to control their path and pace in navigating the website.
