WebQuest Redesign? Thoughts to start the discussion

This post is not meant to imply there is anything wrong with the WebQuest model. I believe the WebQuest is one of the most important educational creations for the digital age. I am simply experimenting with ideas to help the WebQuest “grow up” since there have been so many new online tools developed since the advent of the WebQuest. The link below will take you to a table that contains some of my thoughts and questions. I have tossed these ideas around with a colleague who is an Understanding By Design proponent. Again, the WebQuest is so strongly based in sound educational theory, the steps fit well with UbD concepts, again a testament to the historical reflecting and forward thinking of Dodge and March.
