Webquest: By: Angeles Sandoval

A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson that uses mostly online resources for students to solve a real problem. It contains an introduction, a task for students to complete, a list of online information sources, guidance on the process, and a conclusion. WebQuests can vary in length from a single class to a month-long unit. They usually involve group work and roles, and preselect resources so students can focus on using information rather than searching for it. The goal is for teachers to facilitate learning through active meaning construction.
