Is a webquest an example of Universal Design?
A webquest is a good example of Universal Design. The purpose of universal design is to meet the needs of all learners. Webquests are a great tool for reaching all types of learning because it focuses on presenting a clear goal, accessing different learning styles, uses interesting sites on the web and can include working collaboratively. Students with disabilities are motivated by the use of technology and gifted students have extensions built into the class assignment through the different links available. However, after reading through some webquests, it is obvious that if the lesson plan does not have an appropriate scope, students can become off task and overwhelmed with information.
