Abstract
Progressive education aims to provide students (with or without disabilities) with an active and engaging learning experience that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Serious games, designed to educate and inform, have gained popularity in recent years as a way to make learning more interactive and fun. However, while there is scientific support for gamification in education, it is important to carefully consider this approach's potential drawbacks and limitations. For this reason, here the authors present a novel application software whose basic concept is to help professionals create relevant educational content and motivate students by presenting teaching materials and tasks in a modern, relevant, and motivating way. The evaluation of the web tool was done on usability and usefulness. The study results indicate a predominantly favorable perception among participants towards the utilization of the web-based tool in educational settings, with particular regard to its efficacy in designing instructional materials.
