Web Based Learning is best developed in stages. Build on what you develop as you learn how to use the net. Start with a Hot Lists of links then build on your efforts with a Multimedia Scrapbooks activity. Next build a Treasure Hunt of facts and figures. When you are ready to make the most of your web based learning activities use or design a WebQuest Cognitive Load WebQuests involve the development of student centred problem solving activities that involve higher order thinking skills.
Students work collaboratively on a real life task taking on real life simulation roles.
They use the Internet as one of many resources, and then share what they have learned with others. WebQuests are attractive to teachers because they help teachers structure activities in an open-ended investigation. All rights reserved.
