The WebQuest Process

The 'Process' section should outline how the learners will accomplish the task. It is very important to make sure that it includes clear guidance or steps on how they should organise their information.

The steps or guidance could include a set of questions for them to answer, or specific areas they should concentrate or reflect on.

Learners will use the on-line resources that you have identified in the resources section as they go through the process.

Below are two examples of real WebQuest processes. All source links will open in a new window:
