Webquests have the potential to deliver learning outcomes in a way that engages students and encourages them to be active participants in their learning. The benefits of using them depend, like any lesson, on how well they are planned around the outcomes. There may be a temptation to try and fit an outcome to an engaging learning activity, which I think is going about it the wrong way. However, a well thought out webquest has the potential to explore multiple areas that are of interest and also form a legitimate part of the curriculum. Probably the main benefits are the chance for students to direct their own learning , giving them a sense of power in their learning and making connections to the real world and other subjects.
