What are the different parts of a webquest?

As you can see from these webquests, most webquests (particularly those that follow the model of B. J. Dodge of San Diego State University) consist of:

• an introduction: describes the overall activity, the purpose for the activity, and student’s role

• task/outcome: describes the overall final outcome or product — formulating a solution to a problem or a position, or creating a product — an ad, song, story, final report, etc.

• activities linked to web sites: specific step-by-step activities that are linked to web sites that provide relevant material

• guidance: help for students in how to organize their material to achieve the final outcome or report

• assessment: a specific rubric for assessing their work

• summary: a summary of what they learned from completing the webquest
