Web Quests What is a Web Quest?A Web Quest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. There are at least two levels of WebQuests that should be distinguished from one another. Short Term Web QuestThe instructional goal of a short term Web Quest is knowledge acquisition and integration. At the end of a short term Web Quest, a learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. A short-term Web Quest is designed to be completed in one or two class periods. Long Term Web QuestThe instructional goal of a longer term Web Quest is extending and refining knowledge. After completing a longer term Web Quest, a learner would have analyzed a body of knowledge deeply, transformed it in some way, and demonstrated an understanding of the material by creating something that others can respond to, on-line or off-. A longer term Web Quest may take an entire quarter to complete. Endangered Species Web QuestBlack History Month Web Quest
