A comprehensive web-based educational platform developed by Group 3 Computer Science Seniors at Holy Cross College of Carigara Incorporated in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. This interactive platform, created under the thesis titled "Developing Educational Games for High School Language Arts: Design Principles and Effectiveness," helps learners improve their English skills through immersive language arts web games featuring vocabulary building, grammar challenges, and social learning features.
Word Weavers is designed to help Junior High School students (Grades 7-10) learn English in a fun and engaging way, with the help from the teachers curated lessons that follow K-12 curriculum. Through interactive games, students can improve their vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and communication skills while actually enjoying the learning process. The platform tracks student progress and provides meaningful insights, making it easier for both students and teachers to see real learning outcomes that align with K-12 assessment standards.
