A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites. A WebQuest is distinguished from other Internet-based research by three characteristics. First, it is classroom-based. Second, it emphasizes higher-order thinking (such as analysis, creativity, or criticism) rather than just acquiring information. And third, the teacher preselects the sources, emphasizing information use rather than information gathering.Finally, though solo WebQuests are not unknown, most WebQuests are group work with the task frequently being split into roles.
Web-quests are used by
educators around the world to help second and foreign language learners in
their learning.

A teacher can design a
web-quest for collaborative work too. A group of students can be asked to work
collaboratively in solving a problem and finding solutions to complete a task.
she can give them list of resources they can browse via web instead of
traditional ordinary tasks which will give students a chance to use the target
language in its natural context through browsing.
Web-quests can also used for project-based learning. A teacher can create a web-quest for final project that involve the students' problem solving, decision making, investigative skills, and reflection that includes teacher facilitation, but not direction.
