WEBQUEST

What is a WebQuest? An inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet…" (Dodge, 1995).

What is a WebQuest? A stereotypical "WebQuest" sees a team of students accessing Web sites in order to produce a technology-enhanced group product.

What is a WebQuest? The "Learning Input" is the easy piece of the WebQuest’s definition – "some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet." The main critical attribute of a WebQuest is to facilitate this transformation of information into a newly constructed, assimilated understanding. It cannot be a Ctrl+c + Ctrl+v project

A WebQuest is… A scaffolded learning structure Uses links to essential resources on the World Wide Web An authentic task to motivate students’ investigation of a central, open-ended question, development of individual expertise and participation in a final group process that attempts to transform newly acquired information into a more sophisticated understanding.

"A WebQuest is a scaffolded learning structure…" Scaffolds are "temporary frameworks to support student performance beyond their capacities…" (Cho & Jonassen, 2002). Examples: activities that help students develop the right mindset, engage students with the problem, divide activities into manageable tasks, and direct students' attention to essential aspects of the learning goals" (Ngeow & Kong, 2001).

WebQuests… …are a way to integrate a number of sound learning strategies while also making substantial educational use of the Web.

The main strategies that WebQuests prompt are: Motivation Theory Questioning - Schema Theory Constructivism Differentiated Learning Situated Learning Thematic Instruction Authentic Assessment Overt Metacognition Learner-centered psychological principles

WebQuest A quick question often resolves whether the Web (and thus a WebQuest) is worth using: "Could this learning be achieved just as effectively without the Internet?" If the answer is yes, let’s save the bandwidth for something better.

Research John Keller’s ARCS Model of Motivational Design (Keller, 1983,1987) has provided a well-respected and reasoned approach to increasing students’ willingness to expend effort in their pursuit of learning.

Research WebQuests should pass the ARCS filter: Does the activity get students’ Attention? Is it Relevant to their needs, interests or motives? Does the task inspire learners’ Confidence in achieving success? Finally, would completing the activity leave students with a sense of Satisfaction at their accomplishment?

Research The best way to address Attention and Relevance is to choose some dimension of a topic that students would find compelling and then create an authentic learning task related to it.

Research Savery and Duffy (1995) noted that "Puzzlement is the factor that motivates learning." Thus beyond links to compelling Web sites and implementation of the ARCS Model, attempts to motivate students are furthered by the use of probing, open-ended questions.

Research Further justification for questioning comes from schema theory and constructivism. Because we want to support students as they transform information into new understanding, using a question can access prior knowledge, thus activating pre-existing cognitive networks of meaning.

Research Bransford (1985) distinguishes between activation of pre-existing knowledge and developing new knowledge and skills. His research suggests that we provide learners with problem-solving activities that include critical thinking to support schema construction.

Research A more learning-centered teacher might challenge students by "posing contradictions, presenting new information, asking questions, encouraging research, and/or engaging students in inquiries designed to challenge current concepts" (Brooks & Brooks, 1999).

Research Individual Roles prompt students to develop expertise in the subject from within a situated learning environment, that is, one in which "knowledge and skills are learned in the contexts that reflect how knowledge is obtained and applied in everyday situations" (Kirshner and Whitson 1997).

Research WebQuest as a two-part activity: the building up of expertise and the application of it

Research The quick litmus test for the Group Process is to ask two questions: "Could the answer be copy and pasted" and if the answer is no, "Does the task require that students make something new out of what they have learned?"
