WebQuest Construction
A WebQuest is a student-centred inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March, and was outlined then in Some Thoughts About WebQuests. Traditionally WebQuests have an introduction, a process, a task, a list of resources, a conclusion, and an evaluation.
There is no point in designing a web page totally from scratch when you can use ready made templates that do the job for you or adapt existing WebQuests. Use the links below as a starting point. You will also find a guide to developing assessment rubrics and a further rubric to evaluate WebQuests.
