Abstract

The MOSES web serious game is used as a spring board for student's ideas and as a content base for their Blogs. The Blogs function as an online collaboration peer review environment. A seven-week experiment was conducted using 27 students at a national university in southern Taiwan. Findings revealed that low leveled EFL students' writing performance improved. By knowing each level of learner, an interactive designer would be able to take into account students' different levels of characteristics in developing the online collaborative serious game for enhancing EFL undergraduates' composition.
