2. ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION, AND YOUR
WEBQUESTS (FROM TIP #6)

page, and what a rubric really is.
• Tools for creating rubrics:
o Rubistar: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
o iRubric (what we use in Oncourse for W200 rubrics):
http://www.rcampus.com/indexrubric.cfm

6. WEBQUESTS – LET’S REVIEW!
• What is a webquest? And why do we bother?
o Contains content exploration and production tasks

7. WEBQUESTS – LET’S REVIEW!
• In a Webquest…
o Students explore content and resources the teacher
provides (or provides a way to find these resources)
o Students produce something in order to show what they
have learned, and to learn more during the process
o Students reference an assessment tool (rubric) to self-
monitor their progress in their work

8. TIP #7 – GETTING STARTED
You are going to continue working on your Webquest
1. Finish the “process” page first – you will take what you created
last week, and have the process end with the learner (completing
the webquest) creating something to demonstrate their
knowledge
2. Learners completing your webquest will create a product (talk
with your instructor about which technology tool to use)
3. Create an “evaluation” page, and create an iRubric that learners
and you can use to assess the product students create
4. Clean up the final product – Introduction, task, conclusion (and
credits) pages – based on your work today
