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 Chocolate Chip Cookies: To eat or not to eat, tasks are given with scaffolding help, guide sheets to help students complete tasks.

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.
