Task What is a WebQuest?
Process
Evaluation A WebQuest is an assignment which asks students to
Conclusion use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or
synthesize their knowledge a specific topic. A “true”
WebQuest, as originally designed by Bernie Dodge
and Tom March, requires synthesis of the new
knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve
a hypothetical problem or address a real-world
issue. Simpler web activities designed for students
to investigate and collect new knowledge from web-
based sources can also be a more engaging and
effective replacement for read-the-chapter-and-
complete-the-review-questions.
