WebQuests

WebQuests involve the development of student-centred problem solving activities. Students work collaboratively on a real-life task taking on authentic roles. They use the Internet as one of many resources, and then share what they have learned with others. Webquests support inquiry learning and cooperative group work.

Webquests bring together the interdisciplinary domains of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELs) Communication, Design, Creativity and Technology, Information and Communications, Technology (ICT) and Thinking Processes.
