Create a Webquest using our Online Generator Now you have worked your way through the various sections on how to create a Webquest, why not have a go and create your own? This online first level Webquest generator will guide you through the process of creating a Webquest. At the end of the process, it will then 'create' the output for you into a new page. You can then save your html Webquest page, which can then be uploaded to your own web site, or saved to your hard drive, or a floppy disk and used offline. It can also be modified offline. We have not put in any headers or footers, so you can contextualise the page to the look and feel of your own web site. Fill in as much or as little information in the form which you wish to include in your webquest. It is not necessary to fill in all the blank spaces. You can preview your Webquest at any time by clicking on the "Preview your Webquest Page" button at the bottom of this form. You can use html tags in your fields. Typical examples (or combinations of) include: Line Break: <BR> Horizontal Rule: <HR> Bold <B> text </B> Italic <I> text </I> Bullet Points: <LI> text </LI> Step 1: Select the output background, text, link and visited link colours for your Webquest page. You can also insert an image which will appear at the top of your Webquest. The image URL is the full url to your image. For example; http://www.yoursite.com/images/image.jpg. You can preview your colour scheme at any time by clicking on the "Preview your Webquest Page" button at the bottom of this form. This table has 5 rows and 2 columns Background Colour for Webquest Page: White Black Grey Tan Yellow Red Dark Red SkyBlue Blue DarkBlue Dark Brown Dark Green Steel Blue Aqua Text Colour for Webquest Page: Black White Grey Tan Yellow Red Dark Red SkyBlue Blue DarkBlue Dark Brown Dark Green Steel Blue Aqua Webquest Link Colour: Blue Black White Grey Tan Red Dark Red SkyBlue Yellow DarkBlue Dark Brown Dark Green Steel Blue Aqua Visited Webquest Link Colour: Red Black White Grey Tan Yellow Dark Red SkyBlue Blue DarkBlue Dark Brown Dark Green Steel Blue Aqua Image URL: center image Step 2.

This table has 3 rows and 2 columns Tutor's Name: Webquest Name: Organisation: Tutor's phone: Tutor' or Organisation home page URL: Tutor's Email address: 1. Introduction to Webquest The 'Introduction to Webquest' section is the first stage in setting the scene for your webquest. Think carefully about what you write here, because it needs to be stimulating to excite your learners. Write a short paragraph to introduce the activity to the learners. If there is a role or scenario involved (for example "You are a time traveller from the 23rd century trying to find out about 20th Century space exploration.") then here is where you'll set the scene. It is also in this section that you'll introduece the essential or guiding question that the whole Webquest is centered around. 2. The Webquest Tasks The 'Webquest Task' section focuses your learners on what they are going to do. Describe crisply and clearly what the end result of the learners' activities will be. Don't list the steps that students will go through to get to the end point. That belongs in the Process section. Think about how you want the finished information recorded or presented? 3. The Webquest Process The 'Webquest Process' section should outline how the learners will accomplish the task. Be sure it includes clear steps, resources, and tools or helpful hints for organising information. To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified (later in this webquest generator) as they go through the process. In the Process, you might also provide some guidance on how to organise the information gathered. 4. The Webquest Resources The 'Webquest Resources' section in a Webquest , is a list of web pages or web sites which you have found, that will help the learner accomplish the task. The resources are pre-selected so that learners can focus their attention on the topic rather than surfing aimlessly. There are 10 sets of links available to you. You might also think of adding a few different search engine links as well, to enable them to do some of their own targeted research work.   This table has 11 rows and 4 columns Name of Resource Resource Description URL link 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 5. The Webquest Evaluation The 'Webquest Evaluation' section should describe the evaluation criteria needed to meet performance standards. Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. The evaluative assessment should link directly and be married to the task section of the Webquest. You should also specify whether there will be a common grade for group work, or individual grades. 6. The Webquest Conclusion The 'Webquest Conclusion' section brings the Webquest to a close and should encourage your learners to reflect on what they have achieved. Summarise what the learners will have accomplished or learned by completing this activity. You might also include some thought provoking questions to encourage them to extend their thinking beyond this Webquest. Saving your Webquest Once you have completed all of the fields above that you wish to, you can save your webquest page to your own computer. Click on the "Get Webquest Page" button. Select "File" from the menu bar and then select "Save as". Type in a new filename in the space provided ('The Community Learning Resource Online Webquest Generator' is currently displayed in the filename box). You must name the file with a .htm or .html extension. For example: Type in mywebquest.htm Select format to be saved as "TEXT". Click on Save. Save the file in the appropriate directory. Transfer, using FTP, the file to the appropriate Web Server and directory.
