A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used
by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time
well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners'
thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in
early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March, and was
outlined then in Some Thoughts About WebQuests.
