WebQuests in Science PED 4125 – H. Mace

Webquest… what the? A webquest is like a scavenger hunt on the Internet. Basically, you go on an Information Gathering Adventure to find facts and things from the Internet to answer some of your questions.

Officially... 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. Key points: guided search inquiry oriented interaction with websites

Types of webquests... Short Term Goal: knowledge acquisition and integration. By the end: learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. Length: one to three class periods. Longer Term Goal: extending and refining knowledge. By the end: learner would have analyzed a body of knowledge in depth, transformed it somehow, and demonstrated an understanding of the material by creating something that others can respond to, electronically or otherwise-. Length: between one week and a month in a classroom setting.

Webquest – more specifically Key components of a webquest: a context a task with a process for its completion student expectations a set of websites (information sources) an outcome (organization guidance) a conclusion Check out this site for more information:

Evaluating a webquest Overall how does it look? is it easy to navigate? does it work? Introduction gives an interesting context links to previous learning/content

More on evaluating The outcome of the task related to expectations (not just busy work) cognitively demanding (not just regurgitating) The process of the task clear steps activities relate to task and build up knowledge roles assigned

And lastly… evaluating Resources relevant to task great quality websites (sources, appearance) Evaluation criteria clearly described with task
