Build a WebQuest: Using ChatGPT and Google
This dynamic workshop will teach you how to build an engaging and interactive WebQuest for your learning experiences.
A WebQuest is an inquiry-based learning experience that leads participants through structured exploration using curated online resources.
One main benefit of WebQuests is that it isn’t flashy. WebQuests do not rely on the latest technology because they were originally envisioned as a framework for designing courses within simple HTML sites that engaged the highest levels of Blooms Taxonomy. The tools to create these experiences have progressed to a point where it takes a fraction of the time to develop.
