WebQuests are one of a range of web based activities that involve the development of student centered problem solving activities.  Students work collaboratively on a real life task taking on real life simulation roles. They use the Internet as one of many resources, and then share what they have learned with others.

American Professor Bernie Dodge and Tom March have worked on the concept of WebQuests since 1995. Their aim has been to develop strategies for effectively using the Internet in the classroom.
