A WebQuest is an online activity in which learners use information gathered from pre-selected Internet sites to increase their knowledge and skills. WebQuests are typically designed to make the best use of a learner's time spent online by providing guidance and structure. WebQuests include:

• An introduction to set the stage or describe a scenario
• A set of engaging tasks
• A list of resources to be used for gathering the information needed to complete the tasks or to create the materials described in the tasks (links to pre-selected web sites, books, software, video cameras, etc.)
• A description of the process that learners must follow to accomplish the tasks, including guidance in creating materials to show what they have learned and how it will be evaluated
• A conclusion and possible EXTENSION activities
• A page dedicated to helpful notes for the teacher

These WebQuests are designed as support materials to be used with adult learners within the context of advanced ESL, ABE or GED classes. The Teacher Page of each WebQuest lists the CASAS, SCANS and EFF competencies or skills addressed by the tasks included in the WebQuest and offers strategies for introducing the WebQuest to the class. Each WebQuest includes a vocabulary list and activities to support vocabulary instruction.
