TOOLS: WEBQUEST

WHAT IS A WEBQUEST?


"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet" (Dodge, 1995)


Typically webquests have 7 steps:

  1. Introduction: to orient the student on what the task will be about and motivate him/her. 
  2. Task: explain explicitly what the student is going to be required to do. 
  3. Process: steps that the students will follow. Include online webpages.
  4. Evaluation: how this activity is going to be evaluated.
  5. Conclusion: sum up the process and the achievements. 
  6. Didactic Orientations: the level and subject for what the webquest is adressed.
  7. Contact: the creator's contact details.
