This section shows you how to create a WebQuest website. There are a number of parts to a standard website. Although it is possible to vary these, we will go through the entire process. (Graduate students will do a Teacher's Page, while undergrads will not.)

A WebQuest is generally put onto a website (no surprise there!). Although the process shown here shows you doing that at the end of your WebQuest development, it can be easier to make the pages as you do each assignment. If you already know a little about making websites, then that is a good way to proceed. If you do NOT already know how to make websites, then I suggest that you do the WebQuest assignments as quickly as you can so that you leave time at the end to work with me to put them into a site. You will be able to copy-and-paste your WebQuest materials into your Web pages without much difficulty.

  • Information for those who know something about making Web pages and websites.
  • Information for those who are new to making Web pages and websites.

The main steps in creating your WebQuest are:

  • Deciding on a topic, and developing goals for it.
  • Creating a scenario for the WebQuest.
  • Writing an inviting title.
  • Writing the Introduction.
  • Creating the Tasks that students will complete.
  • Developing the Process that students will follow.
  • Creating Evaluation materials for the WebQuest.
  • Writing a Conclusion.
  • Giving Credit (citations, etc.) for the materials that you used.
  • Creating a Teacher's Page to help other teachers use your WebQuest.

and, finally,

  • Creating the website that holds the WebQuest.
