Webquest Rubric

Criteria	Accomplished (3)	Developing (2)	Beginning (1)	Score & Comments
Introduction	Engagingly describes a compelling question or problem.	A question or problem is described.	The purpose of the WebQuest is unclear.	3- I enjoy the capitvating colors, which draws in the students' attention to specific words.
Task	Task is doable and engaging, and is connected to learning in the real world. It elicits thinking that goes beyond rote comprehension.	The task is doable and elicits higher order thinking but is not relevant to students lives.	Task requires simply comprehending or retelling of information found on web pages and answering factual questions.	2.5)- The task is very understandable and is connected to the real world. The task encourages the use of the internet for reasearch, which is very relevant to the students' lives. To add interest, maybe using a Digital Story as the means of communicating the information instead of writing a paper.
Process Checklist	Every step is clearly stated. Most students would know exactly where they are at each step of the process and know what to do next.	Some directions are given, but there is missing information. Students might be confused.	Every step is clearly stated. Most students would know exactly where they are at each step of the process and know what to do next.	2) I feel like the process is explained well, but  I feel like some steps would benefit by adding some to the description of the steps. For example, I would use a table in Part 2 to explain the roles of each task. A table might help with some confusion as other parts would benefit from more explanation.
Resources	There is a clear and meaningful connection between all the resources and the information needed for students to accomplish the task.	There is some connection between the resources and the information needed for students to accomplish the task. Some resources don't add anything new.	Resources provided are not sufficient for students to accomplish the task.	2.9) The resource at the end of the webquest is a world map. The map is excellent, but doesn't completely show because of the size of the page/screen. Only half of the globe is visual on my screen.
Evaluation	Criteria for success are clearly stated in the form of a rubric. Criteria include qualitative as well as quantitative descriptors.	Criteria for success are clearly stated in the form of a rubric. Criteria include qualitative as well as quantitative descriptors.	Criteria for success are not described.	3)- Excellent Evaluation. The two rubrics are attached to the page. The evaluation section displays both qualitative and quantitative descriptors.
Visual Appeal	Appropriate and thematic graphic elements are used to make visual connections that contribute to the understanding of concepts, ideas and relationships.	Graphic elements sometimes, but not always, contribute to the understanding of concepts, ideas and relationships.	Color is garish and/or typographic variations are overused and legibility suffers. Background interferes with the readability.	2) I think the designer of the webquest is still working on improving the appearance of the page. A few typographical errors are in a few of the sections. For example, "enjoies" and "lable" I will refrain from making any additional comments until completed.
Navigation	Navigation is seamless. It is always clear to the learner what all the pieces are and how to get to them.	There are a few places where the learner can get lost and not know where to go next.	There are more than 5 broken links, misplaced or missing images, badly sized tables, misspellings and/or grammatical errors.	2) I think the order of the pages on the sidebar allow for the learner to easily leave the desired direction of focus. I suggest moving the "Pick A Country" and "World Map" section to another location on the sidebar.
