The Task block in a WebQuest is a description of what the learner will produce by the end of the exercise. It could be a product, like a HyperStudio stack or PowerPoint presentation, a written report, or an oral presentation.

For example, look at the Task sections of these pages:

In Sticks and Stones, by Joe Burkhardt, students create a Public Service Announcement that examines teasing and bullying and its effect on young children.

Penguin Webquest, by Pamela Hanover, provides many different activities using online forms to be printed out and completed.

There are several kinds of WebQuest Tasks. Three examples would be; persuasion tasks, consensus building tasks and journalistic tasks. To find a listing of those tasks, and more about each type of task, go to a page posted by San Diego Public Schools.
