Webquesting

In the webquest shown in the video, students were asked to find a location in the solar system a human colony might best be established. The students were asked to rank the importance of the characteristics of the potential sites, and students had to work out disagreements. The students also simulated different roles in the founding of the colony. Such roleplaying provides the opportunity for learning in a real-world context, which allows the material to be more successfully related to the students. The webquest makes the situations more realisitic and envisionable, which allows for greater applicability to students.
