The Goal of WLSS is to provide a highly motivated learning environment with well-organized knowledge base.
Web-based learning game subsystem in WLSS stimulates students motivation of learning.
Learning order index represents student’s preference about learning objects.
The treasure hunt game is a good model for Web-based learning game.
