Study these four examples of WebQuests and focus on the Process section. As you do so, use this extract from the WebQuest rubric:
| Detail and support of Process | 0 pointsProcess is not clearly stated. Learners would not know exactly what they were supposed to do just from reading this. The process lacks strategies and organisational tools needed for learners to gain the knowledge needed to complete the task. | 3 pointsSome directions are given, but there is missing information. Learners might be confused. Strategies and organisational tools embedded in the process are insufficient to ensure all learners will gain the knowledge needed to complete the task. | 6 pointsEvery step is clearly stated. Most learners would know exactly where they are at each step of the process and know what to do next. The process provides learners coming in at different entry levels with strategies and organisational tools to access and gain the knowledge needed to complete the task. |
| Engagement Through Roles | 0 pointsFew steps, no separate roles assigned. | 2 pointsSome separate tasks or roles assigned to group members. These are co-operative but not collaborative. More complex activities required. | 4 pointsDifferent roles are assigned to group members to help learners understand different perspectives and/or share responsibility in accomplishing the task. |
| Transformative Thinking | 0 pointsNo transformative thinking. (This is not a WebQuest, but may be a good Knowledge Hunt). | 2 pointsHigher-level thinking is required, but the process for learners may not be clear. Some information is merely being repackaged. | 4 pointsHigher-level thinking is required to work with information gathered and construct new meaning. |
