WebQuest Evaluation

It is very important that your learners know how you will evaluate their work and what they can do to provide you with evidence to support that they have completed the task.

You should also be reflecting how you as the tutor will measure the impact of the WebQuest on the learner[s]. After all, there is little point in using WebQuests to support your teaching and learning if it doesn't improve the learning experience of your learners. Are they picking up or developing other softer skills, such as listening, reflective, negotiation, assimilating and collating skills etc?

How will you measure the impact? Will you actually ask the learner[s] if they enjoyed doing the WebQuest? How will you record the learner comments and how will you use those comments to improve or modify your plans?

Will there be will be individual or group marks, grades, or levels? The 'Evaluation' section should describe the evaluation criteria needed to deterine how well your learner [or group of learners] has done.

An evaluation matrix is one mechanism to describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. The matrix should map across the desired outcomes which have been outlined in the task section of the Webquest. It is also a nice way of clearly involving the learner in the evaluative process.

Provide as many stated objectives or performances as necessary.

Below is an example of an assessment matrix based on the San Diego City Schools Department of Educational Technology:
