A WebQuest
is a self-directed, online exercise that leads students through
the process of completing a variety of tasks leading to a final
project. A good WebQuest has the following sections: Introduction,
Task (objectives), Process (specific instructions with links),
Resources, Rubric, and, optionally, a Teacher's Section. WebQuests
should be written at the language level of the student. If you
conduct an Internet search on WebQuests, you will find thousands
to choose from.

A WebTask
is our own invention (© leecywise 2002), designed primarily
for adults with little time to process a complete Quest.
A WebTask
presents
the student
with a short task that can be completed within one
or two hours of self-directed work. Students work through
step-by-step instructions
and complete a rubric for themselves at the end.
You will not find any WebTasks like these online, but
we hope more will be
forthcoming.
