WEBQUESTS ARE ALL ABOUT REMOTE LEARNING

WebQuests are designed to use learners’ time, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners’ thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University.
