Web Quest Generator

This is a tool that creates a "web quest" activity. That is, it creates an activity that provides a context and instructions for searching specific web sites, chosen by the Professor, for specific information. To create the activity, fill out the form below by replacing the text in the textboxes with your own text, and select an image to accompany your webquest.

Once you've completed the form, you can either:

• click on Preview to see how it will look when completed. You can also print from this view if you want to use this as a handout in class.
• click on Generate in order to save the files for posting to your MySeneca course or someplace else on the internet (more instructions for this available below).

Introduction:	The introduction provides a brief overview of what the web quest is all about. It should engage the learner.
Task:	What is the task? Make sure that the task is doable and interesting. It could be posed as a single question. The task should require students to analyze an array of information to find the answer.
Process:	Describe in detail the process the learner should go through to complete the task. It should be broken into clearly described steps. Use bullets or point form if possible. Be sure to include some guidance on how to organise the information that is gathered. If the web quest is a group activity include instructions on how you intend the students to collaborate.
Resources:	The information sources needed to complete the task are included here. Information sources include web sites, links to web based articles, experts available via email and/or searchable databases on the net. If you wish to include materials not on the web please make sure that they are easily and readily available to the learner. It is very important that the learner is guided to the places you wish them to investigate and that they are not left to "wander" through the World Wide Web. In the fields below you can add up to 10 internet links to your web Quest. To add a link enter the complete address of the resource into a "Link" field (remember to include the "http://"). Enter a descriptions for each link in its associated "Description" field. Link 1: Description: Link 2: Description: Link 3: Description: Link 4: Description: Link 5: Description: Link 6: Description: Link 7: Description: Link 8: Description: Link 9: Description: Link 10: Description:
Evaluation:	Cleary describe the outcome for the web quest. This is generally a written/oral report or a multimedia presentation presented individually or in a group.
Conclusion:	It is a good idea to include an activity that requires the learners to reflect on what they have learned. Encourage them to extend what they have learned into other area. Remember the web quest should encourage students to analyse and synthesize information, not just gather it.
