Contributed by Robert Kubacki (SLPA), Alyson Lyon (SLPA), Donald McAndrews (SLPA), Joyce Valent (SLPA), and Sarah Wallace (Speech-Language Pathology) A group of Duquesne faculty participating in a CTE online book study developed these tips to give to students to help them succeed in online learning.

A Webquest is an online activity planned for the student to explore/investigate/synthesize multiple sources of information. Students are provided with a scenario or problem, and are given links to websites where they have to search for information to answer questions or complete a task. This is a great activity for online classes. I have used a webquest in an online course about veteran health care. The students were given a scenario about a homeless veteran they cared for in a clinic setting in their personal hometown. They had to research homelessness, the services offered in their home town, and the disease processes of their veteran. They had to develop either a speech to present the issue at a town hall meeting, develop a proposal to supply a service that was needed by the veteran or write an op-ed piece for their hometown newspaper.
