Bernie Dodge's Quest Garden

2007 Teacher Education Classics Winner

Gerry Hanley presents the 2007 Classics Award in Teacher Education to Bernie Dodge at the 2007 MIC in New Orleans.

Many instructors have found WebQuests to be a successful way to engage student with an inquiry-oriented learning activity. However, most instructors are limited to using WebQuests created by others because of a lack of web authoring skills. Bernie Dodge has provided a solution to this problem by introducing QuestGarden, a low-threshold application for authoring and hosting WebQuests. Instructors use a wizard to walk through the process of creating a WebQuest. When finished, they have the option of publishing a completed WebQuest to the QuestGarden server or to a location of their own choosing.
