*8)+WebQuest,+Assessment

Learning evaluation will be assessed by how well each stage of the WebQuest has been completed. This includes research skills and the appropriate information selected for the task.

The following link displays a Rubric on how student WebQuests can be evaluated. (Best WebQuests 2008) [|WebQuest Rubric]

Another way to evaluate learning is for students to complete journal entries after each lesson. It is a way for them to record their view and personal experiences when using WebQuest. ‘Student journals serve as a record of growth and are important source of information about students’ learning processes’ (Carr 2002, p.157). Journal entries can be typed on the computers instead of traditional methods of pen and paper. For teachers to receive the entry they can then be posted directly by email to the teacher. This allows for more privacy of students’ entries as only the teacher can then access them. They then can be analysed to see how students comprehend the new technology.
