WebQuests

A WebQuest is an internet orientated activity, it is where learners go on a 'quest' to find out all they need to know about a particular subject. According to Wikipedia, 'During this activity learners read, analyse, and synthesize information using the World Wide Web'. In the end all of the students get together and collaborate what they have found.

This is an effective e-learning tool, because it brings together the Oliver's three ICT Learning Design Model elements; Learning Resources, Learning Tasks and Learning Supports (Oliver, 1999).
