Web Quest Maker

A Web Quest is a method used to engage students in inquiry based learning. A web quest is meant to guide students through a process of inquiry through a set of assigned tasks that lead them to a conclusion, or that results in a product.

Fill in the sections below with required information for each step. Be specific and clear. You may want to use a bulleted format in some sections or use a format will be easy for students to read and comprehend what is expected. Be sure to save your work in a file you create.

Where to Begin?

Using the webquest generator list below is a great way to start creating webquests for your class. Some simply generate an HTML page for you to upload to your own website, but others create and publish the webquest online for you. However, all of them follow the original webquest format of including an introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation and conclusion. So, if you are looking for a straightforward way to get your webquest ideas organized into a easily customizable template, the websites listed in this article will do just that.

1. QuestGarden

QuestGarden.com is the official webquest generator of the webquest.org portal. With QuestGarden you get to micro-manage almost everything you could hope to change when you create a webquest. The helpful design wizard walks you through all the stages and helps you decide what to write in each of the sections. It even includes examples from published webquests to help jumpstart your inspiration. Finished webquests are published on the QuestGarden website, complete with a shortened URL for easy access.

You can sign up for a free 30-day trial, or subscribe for two years with a one-time payment of $20.

2. Zunal WebQuest Maker

The Zunal webquest generator has a wealth of options, and generates a slick-looking final product that looks very professional. Webquests can be displayed in up to eight languages, have a variety of background images, and can have a selection of color themes applied. Additional pages include space for a student quiz, a review page, a teacher page, and an 'about the author' page. Page statistics can be viewed, files can be added, and YouTube videos can be embedded. Once your webquest is finished, it can be published live on the Zunal site, or exported as a Word, PDF or Excel file. It also works with your mobile device.

Teachers can register for free, but this only gives you access to one webquest. Registering for the pro version, however, is very cost effective. For $20 you get a three-year membership to Zunal, the ability to create and edit an unlimited number of webquests, and an ad-free experience for the teacher and any visitors to your webquests. Sample webquests can be found on the Zunal homepage.

3. Teachnology Web Quest Maker

Simplicity is the key with the free webquest generator from Teachnology. Simply fill in the boxes in the ready made template, and click the button at the bottom of the page and you will have created your first webquest. Options to customize your websquests are limited. You cannot add or delete pages, change fonts or other such things, but you can add a picture to the top of your page.

It is possibly the quickest way to create a webquest, but it is also one of the simplest in terms of presentation. Right click on your completed page to save it as an HTML page, and you can upload it to your blog, website or file host when you are ready. You can view a sample webquest that I created with this website here.

4. Aula21 - 1, 2, 3 Your Webquest for Free

Like the Teachnology webquest generator, Aula21's tool is free to use, and needs no subscriptions or registrations. However, unlike the Teachnology site, you do get more options with regards to presentation and customization when you use 1, 2, 3 Your Webquest for Free.

You have six language options, 12 different fonts, 15 text colors, and 28 background colors to choose from. There is also the ability to upload an image of your choice. All the usual template boxes are included, along with a sample paragraph to remind you what you should have in each section, and you simply click the button at the bottom to see your finished webquest and save it as an HTML file.

The Best Webquest Generator?

Ultimately, you get what you pay for with a webquest generator. When you pay for a subscription with Zunal or QuestGarden, you get some stylish premade templates and the option to publish them online direct from their sites. The free options from Aula21 and Teachnology are much simpler, and require you to either have, or find, a place to upload the generated HTML file.

If you are new to webquests and just want to try one or two, then by all means start with the free generators. However, the price of the paid versions represents great value for money, and you will soon find that it is easier to make and publish your webquests by using either Zunal or QuestGarden. You also have the added bonus of being able to go back and edit your webquests to update dead links or add more challenges. For me, Zunal offers the best balance of style, detail and simplicity, but both can be used on a trial basis before spending any money on a subscription, and I would encourage you to try both to see which best fits your personal tastes.

Technologically, creating a WebQuest can be very simple. As long as you can create a document with hyperlinks, you can create a WebQuest. That means that a WebQuest can be created in Word, Powerpoint, and even Excel! If you're going to call it a WebQuest, though, be sure that it has all the critical attributes.

A real WebQuest....

is wrapped around a doable and interesting task that is ideally a scaled down version of things that adults do as citizens or workers.

requires higher level thinking, not simply summarizing. This includes synthesis, analysis, problem-solving, creativity and judgment.

makes good use of the web. A WebQuest that isn't based on real resources from the web is probably just a traditional lesson in disguise. (Of course, books and other media can be used within a WebQuest, but if the web isn't at the heart of the lesson, it's not a WebQuest.)

isn't a research report or a step-by-step science or math procedure. Having learners simply distilling web sites and making a presentation about them isn't enough.

isn't just a series of web-based experiences. Having learners go look at this page, then go play this game, then go here and turn your name into hieroglyphs doesn't require higher level thinking skills and so, by definition, isn't a WebQuest.

QuestGarden

To make it easier to create great WebQuests without having to master a web editor, QuestGarden was created by Bernie Dodge. QuestGarden provides step-by-step direction and examples. Supporting documents in Inspiration, Word, PowerPoint, etc can be attached to your WebQuest. Hosting is provided, and you can also download a zipped archive of your lesson and move it to another server. Subscribers can also start with an existing WebQuest created by one of QuestGarden's 150000 members and modify it easily to meet their needs. You can find more information here and enter the site here. Cost: $20 for 2-year subscription. 30-day free trial.

Sample WebQuests created with QuestGarden:

Other Online Authoring Systems

zWebQuest (formerly called InstantWebquest) is a web based software for creating WebQuests in a short time. Cost: $0. Sample product: The Fantastic Four and World War III

TeacherWeb

Online tool for creating simple WebQuests, especially appropriate for younger elementary students. Cost: $27/year. Sample product: Colonial America

WebQuest Templates

The old-school way of creating a WebQuest is to download a template that includes prompts for each section, open it up in a web editor, write your heart out, save it and then upload it to a server somewhere. Lots of effort on purely tech-y things required, and that effort often displaces the time needed to create good pedagogy. Still, if you already know how to use Dreamweaver or KompoZer, templates are the way to go. Here are some sources:

You might find some very old (1997-ish) templates out there (like this) that have separate sections for Resources and Learning Advice. My advice: don't use these. A decade of experience has shown us that those things are much better sprinkled within the Process section.

Once you have a template you like, just follow the steps in the WebQuest Design Process.

Il lavoro è strutturato e scandito in precisi momenti (sei tappe):

Ø  L’INTRODUZIONE

Ø  IL COMPITO

Ø  PROCESSO E RICERCA

Ø  VALUTAZIONE

Ø  CONCLUSIONE

Nel WEB QUEST  viene inserita:

a)     l’indicazione degli strumenti  necessari per la redazione finale del prodotto (word processor, slide o lucidi, pagine web ecc.)

b)     l’esplicitazione delle modalità di valutazione del lavoro.

Le attività possono essere strutturate all’interno di uno scenario ( una storia interattiva, un “case study”, un testo che illustri diversi punti di vista rispetto ad un problema, ecc.)

Prevede il lavoro di gruppo:  ruoli specifici e motivanti come lo scienziato, il giornalista. Il detective, lo specialista su un dato ambito di sapere: ABILITA’ SOCIALI/ICONE SOCIALI.

L’uso di personaggi fittizi cui rivolgersi via e mail.

Dodge distingue due livelli di WEB QUEST :

1.    Le SHORT TERM WEB QUEST: uno o tre lezioni, il cui OBIETTIVO è L’ACQUISIZIONE E L’INTEGRAZIONE DI CONOSCENZE.

2.   Le LONGER TERM WEB QUEST: una settimana o un mese, il cui OBIETTIVO è L’ANALISI ED L’APPROFONDIMENTO DI UN ARGOMENTO SUL QUALE E’ RICHIESTO ALL’ALUNNO DI PREPARARE UN PRODOTTO CHE DIMOSTRI IL LIVELLI DI ELABORAZIONE CUI E’ PERVENUTO.
