Faculty will usually see a range of students with a range of abilities.
Knowing this, faculty must provide a range of learning activities to meet the needs of current students. At the beginning of the course, faculty may assess students’ learning styles and work with the students to develop strategies to deal with various learning styles. A faculty member may also develop interactive activities. For example, the faculty may provide a written lesson about some concept, a podcast with the same content, discussion questions to engage students in the content, and an exploratory WebQuest activity that requires students to explore the web for quality resources that cover this content. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. See Google’s Teaching with Technology website (https://sites.google.com/site/learnteachtech/webquest-projects) for several examples. Fig. 31.6 provides examples of nursing-related WebQuests created using the website www.zunal.com. This example 528was developed using the keyword “nursing” and limiting the search to “college/adult, all curriculum.” As can be seen in Fig. 31.6, this search returned several different nursing-related WebQuests.
