WebQuests

WebQuests are online learning activities that engage students in exploring relevant issues and authentic problems. They can be undertaken co-operatively or independently and provide a structure for an investigation as well as a framework for assessment, preferably self assessment.

Students can develop a variety of products as a result of undertaking the guided Internet based exploration and demonstrate their knowledge of the issues involved and possible solutions they create.

The WebQuests presented at our website particularly engage exploration of peace-building related issues that are prompted by a peace-building story.
