A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which students get all information from the web.
Teachers provide their students with  links to websites to get information, according to the activity. The purpose of using WebQuest is to encourage students to use information rather than gathering it and participate in meaningful classroom discussions. WebQuest supports critical thinking through analyzing, creating, and evaluating. Also, it integrates technology into learning and foster cooperative learning.

A WebQuest is a specific kind of web-based learning activity. It was developed by Bernie Dodge, a professor of educational technology at San Diego State University. WebQuests provide students with the opportunity to work independently or in small group activities that incorporate research, problem solving, and application of basic skills. This teacher-created lesson guides student research using the Internet while incorporating skills such as problem solving.

The following six components are essential for implementing WebQuests in the classroom. Additional information on WebQuests can be located at The WebQuest Page at San Diego State University.

Introduction

The first component provides the learner with background on the WebQuest activity to be completed. It is important that the WebQuest be related to student interests, ideas, or past experiences.

Task

The second component describes what the learners will have accomplished at the end of the WebQuest. The main research question is developed for the learner. The teacher may want to show an example of a completed WebQuest.

Process

During the third component, the teacher suggests the steps the learners should go through in completing the task.

Resources

The fourth component consists of a list of resources, provided by the teacher, that will assist the learner in accomplishing the task.

Evaluation

The fifth component uses a rubric, an established set of rules or guidelines, for evaluating students' work. It is important that the standards be clear, consistent, and specific.

Conclusion

During the final component, students are provided with the opportunity for reflection and summation about the experience. Students should be encouraged to reflect about the process, to extend, and generalize what was learned.
