Student-generated webquests

Student-generated questions for a webquest...

One thing which I think makes a successful webquest is to have the students produce the questions, rather than the teacher dictate to them what it is that they have to find out. Why find out what the teacher is interested in? Maybe that's not what interests the learners...

In the illustration, above, from a course I did last month, my learners pooled what they knew about the running of the bulls in Pamplona (San Fermín). As you can see, they knew something at least, but came up with as many questions as answers... That was their webquest.
