Introduction
Online video learning providers continue to pop up all over the Internet, and everyone from Khan Academy and Learnist to MIT and iTunesU are innovating how instructional video gets experienced and accessed. For remote students, video can be a vital medium when in-person class sessions aren't available. Right now, numerous companies want to own this space in education, and investors are putting millions of dollars into the companies they believe can compete.
Task
By the end of this WebQuest you should have a stronger knowledge of computer terms and parts of a computer. You should also be more knowledgeable about computer viruses, who creates them and why.
Evaluating eLearning Activities.
Ask of your learners to assess their virtual classmates’ progress and offer them constructive feedback.
Process
Create small teams of equally “strong”, or "weak” participants, respectively, and require them to make judgments: What were the most powerful points in their peers’ arguments and why? How could they be combined with their own arguments to build a stronger thesis? This will both encourage online collaboration and develop your learners’ critical thinking and evaluation skills.
