Publisher's Synopsis
Streamlining lessons and being able to present content in a creative and entertaining way is a constant need in the routine of educators. This challenge often requires the use of technological resources and innovative tools. However, a recurring problem in relation to the use of information technologies for research in the school environment is the huge range of content of dubious origin and/or without scientific proof, published indiscriminately on the web. In this way, research-orientated tactics on the web take on a significant degree of importance in the teaching-learning process. In this context, the WebQuest emerges as a guiding tool to be proposed by the teacher and used by the students to support their research, encouraging creativity on the part of the educator and collaborative work between the students, thus providing an opportunity for interaction between the subjects involved in accordance with various learning theories. The WQC - WebQuest Collaborative project is an online WebQuest editor that allows WebQuests to be created and edited.
