Why is this particular tool or technology relevant to language learning?
In large sized class, implementing learner autonomy by using QuestGarden could greatly motivate every student to participate into a task allocated by teachers.

self-discovery, self-appropriation, and, thus, satisfaction is
possible through the adoption of the Learning Style Inventory(Kolb 1999).

Limitations:
Teachers are supposed to be aware that students are working under the guidance of task requirement. After all, some students could be distracted by the overload information from the Internet.
