Kálecký Roman:
OdpovědětVymazatThe WebQuest was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University. It is a framework for research and exploration on specific topics utilizing Websites as resources. The building blocks for a WebQuest include the introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion.
* Introduction - to orient the learner as to what is coming and raise some interest in the learner through a variety of means.
* Task - what the learner will have done at the end of the exercise
* Process - steps that learners should go through in completing the task
* Resources - a list of Web pages which the instructor has located that will help the learner accomplish the task
* Evaluation - an evaluation rubric
* Conclusion - an opportunity to summarize the experience, to encourage reflection about the process, to extend and generalize what was learned
