Evaluation Criteria
Reviewer's Suggested Areas for Improvement or Questions for the Author to Consider
Introduction
The introduction draws the reader into the lesson by relating to the learner's interests or goals and/or engagingly describing a compelling question or problem.
The introduction builds on learner's prior knowledge and effectively prepares the learner by foreshadowing what the lesson is about.
Task The task is aligned to assessment standards and is clearly connected to what learners must know and be able to do to achieve proficiency of those standards.
The task is doable and engaging, and challenges thinking that goes beyond rote comprehension.
The task requires going beyond the data given and making a creative product.
There is enough specific guidance on how to produce/perform the task (e.g. suggested outlines, examples,formats)
Process Every step is clearly stated. Most learners would know exactly where they are at each step of the process and know what to do next.
The process provides learners of different levels with strategies and organizational tools to access and gain the skills needed to complete the task.
Higher level thinking is required to construct new meaning. (Reviewer identify these.)
The process matches the task description.
Roles Different roles are assigned to group members to help learners understand different perspectives and/or share responsibility in accomplishing the task.
Roles are integral to getting the job done, not just tacked on. They are interdependent.
Roles are well defined. It is clear who does what when.
Resources There is a clear and meaningful connection between all the resources and the information needed for learners to accomplish the task.
Varied resources provide enough meaningful information for learners to think deeply
Assessment Criteria for success are clearly stated in the form of a rubric. The assessment tool clearly measures what learners must know and be able to do to accomplish the task.
Alignment with assessment standards is very clear.
Conclusion Clear tie-in to the intro.
Makes the students' cognitive tasks overt and suggests how this learning could transfer to other domains/issues.
Probably calls attention to the assumptions / hidden agendas inherent in the WebQuest itself.
Other Suggestions Aesthetics.
Organization.
Word choice.
