Usually created by teachers and educators, webquests consist of learning activities that enhance and extend existing classroom experiences. Webquests are available for many different topical areas and disciplines, from social science to science to the humanities. Popular webquests often integrate information gathering functions, such as collecting local data on plant or animal life.
