When building your resource inventory try to ensure: 1. You use valid, authentic and reliable sources of information; 2. The web-based resources are engaging and thought provoking where possible; 3. The content will align with the desired learning objectives and support the learner journey. Step 4: Build the introduction, task and process This is the point in which you need to get creative. Your goal is now to incorporate your key theme, learning objectives and resource inventory into a WebQuest structure. The focus now will be on developing an effective and engaging introduction, task and process. Your Introduction – this is always the first thing that a learner will see so it needs to be engaging and catch their attention. It can take the form of a video, animation, audio recording or simply an imaging with some text to provide further context. Think about how you want to frame the key theme you are using, you may use the introduction to provide some important information (“Did you know that.....?”), to pose them a question (“What if you.....?”) or to challenge them to continue (“Do you think you could…..?). It is important to consider your learner cohort when developing the introduction, how will you ensure that you grab and hold their attention? The more interesting and fun the introduction is, the higher the level of engagement will be. Your Task – the task you develop should be clear, realistic and exciting for the learner. The task will outline the end goal of the WebQuest and should be framed in the form of a direct challenge to the learner. Your task should encapsulate the entire WebQuest into a concise, interesting and motivating call to action. Where possible try to make the task engage the learner on an emotional level, this could be done using comedic elements, appealing to their sense of empathy or humanity or by grounding the task in their day to day lived experience. Your Process – now you need to develop the ‘quest’ that the learner will follow to complete the task you have outlined. This is the core of your WebQuest challenge and a step-by-step process that includes the necessary web-based resources that the learner will be required to investigate in order to progress onto each successive step. The process should be progressive in nature and make the learner feel as though they are always moving towards the end goal.
