Answer to Question 1

There are advantages to using WebQuests as inquiry and problem-solving tools. Advantages include that
students are focused on a specific topic and content and have a great deal of scaffolding,
students can focus on using information rather than looking for it since the resources are preselected, and
students use collaboration, critical thinking, and other important skills to complete their Quest.

Answer to Question 2

Most of the literature on assessing creativity suggests three types of assessment: 1. tests of knowledge and skills, 2. performance assessments to evaluate the process, and 3. personal communication and observation to understand both process and product.
