What is a Webquest?
"an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet."
(Bernie Dodge - creator of webquests, 1995)
Why a Webquest Wiki?
Due to the self evident basic concept of webquests the method is often reduced to creating a guided web-search for students neglecting the didactic framework. The adoption of webquests in other languages and pedagogical cultures led to multiple variations of the method. This WQ wiki wants to set standards for creating webquests and gather help and links for all educators, those new to webquests and those experienced in using them for teaching.
How to contribute?
The WQ wiki is a multilingual and multicultural portal for teachers from all over the world.
