"Australia webquests" on the Alquin website
The webquests that can be found on the Alquin website under the menu 'Special Projects' have been revised. First of all we have given much attention to the structure of the quests and assignments. This has led to a menu structure that is easy to follow. Students can easily navigate through the entire contents. This enables them to get a first glance at what the quests are about. Finding your way back to a given point somewhere in one of the quests has become less complicated thanks to the menu structure.
The second improvement we have focussed on concerns the Intro Quiz. We have reshaped the quiz into a multiple choice exercise that the students can do online. The answers are no longer in written form on the site to prevent the students from 'cheating'.
The third item we have tried to improve is layout. Where possible, the assignments are now shown in their entirety in one screen. Links in the assignments no longer open separate windows: the student remains in one and the same window, except when an outside link to the internet is used. This avoids confusion as to what window one was working in last. The font size has been altered to make texts easier to read without having to scroll too much.
We hope that our 'extreme make-over' will make the material even more enjoyable..
