What is a WebQuest ? (Curated by Mr ChangCL)
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web
A WebQuest has 5 essential parts: Task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion. The original paper on WebQuests[5] had a component called guidance instead of evaluation.
Task
The task is the formal description of what the students will produce in the WebQuest. The task should be meaningful and fun. Creating the task is the most difficult and creative part of developing a WebQuest.
Process
The steps the students should take to accomplish the task. It is frequently profitable to reinforce the written process with some demonstrations.
Resources
The resources the students should use. Providing these helps focus the exercise on processing information rather than just locating it. Though the instructor may search for the online resources as a separate step, it is good to incorporate them as links within the process section where they will be needed rather than just including them as a long list elsewhere. Having off-line resources like visiting lecturers and sculptures can contribute greatly to the interest of the students.
Evaluation
The way in which the students' performance will be evaluated. The standards should be fair, clear, consistent, and specific to the tasks set.
Conclusion
Time set aside for reflection and discussion of possible extensions.
