The content in the article proves that WebQuests and Universal Design fit hand-in-hand. WebQuests can be easily altered and modified to accommodate the needs and requirements of all students. WebQuests can present real-life issues that require students to work together, or individually, find solutions using ideas from their skill level. WebQuests can provide as much or as little information as you would like. They offer flexibility and opportunity for multiple engagements.
Haha, I read your post after I wrote mine- I agree with you completely that webquests and UDL go hand-in-hand- I even used the same words- modified to accommodate the needs of all students, flexibility, and opportunity for multiple engagements.... must have been K565... ;)
ReplyDeleteAfter having completed my own webquest, it is clear that the webquest format can engage and call students to a higher level of thinks. It also is evident that students can also become off task or distracted if the task and procedure is too broad with too many links.
