A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity where students interact with and learn from online resources provided on the internet. WebQuests are typically group activities and provide students with a role to play, such as a scientist or reporter. Components of a WebQuest include an introduction, task, process, evaluation, and conclusion. WebQuests engage students through an interesting scenario and task, provide relevant information sources, and can be linked to different areas of the curriculum. They also help develop students' information literacy skills by having them transform information into new forms like comparisons or solutions.
