A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson that uses mostly online resources for students to explore and evaluate. WebQuests can range from a single class period to a month-long unit. They encourage critical thinking, cooperative learning, and authentic assessment by giving students real online resources to use rather than searching for information themselves. Key parts of a WebQuest include an introduction to engage students, a task for them to accomplish, steps to guide their process, curated online resources, and a rubric for evaluation. While not all elements are required, WebQuests are an effective way to structure student learning using online materials.
