Webquest

Mr. Ruiz,

Thank you for sharing this video explanation of Webquest. I found some similarities with PBL (Project Based Learning) method of teaching; however, it was radically different in how responsibility was shared between learner and teacher. In PBL the teacher is responsible for defining a valuable "project" and then providing general scaffolding to keep the learner moving toward a synthesis of ideas on that project. From this presentation created by Mbarek Akaddar Beni Mellal, the Webquest method of teaching places a greater responsibility on the teacher to "direct" the learning (find web sites, determine the form of the final project, etc).

It is my impression that the learning experience would be enriched by shifting some of this "directing" work (done by the teacher in the Webquest method) onto the student (as is done in the PBL method).

I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter. Do you agree with my assessment of the difference in the two methods? Do you find one method to be superior to the other in terms of learning outcomes?
