As you will have realised by now, one of the keys to the success of the WebQuest is the provision of good resources to support the enquiry of the learners, either as a group or in their individual roles, during the process of the WebQuest.
Think about the following types of resources:
A. Websites
- Print publications
- Digital media
- Current data sites such as newspapers, statistical and research data, weather sites, earthquake monitoring
- Community surveys (or online surveys)
B. Collaboration resources
- Other classes
- Experts
- Field experiences
- Process tools such as wikis or online collaborative documents such as Google docs, which can be used to gather survey data and shared opinions
C. Digital content resources that might deepen understanding of an issue or subject content
You may have to rethink some parts of your project idea if it is not possible for your students to be supported by good information resources. Note that even though it is called a WebQuest, WebQuests do not have to rely on information from the Web.

- Find suitable resources to support learners during the process of the WebQuest.
Go to your WebQuest site on Zunal or your document template and insert the resources at the most appropriate place. You may choose to have a separate resources page or you may choose to insert resources as you describe the group roles. If the resources are online, create active links to them.
