Design and development by trainees: After the trainees have been exposed to the training by the trainer, they are then given the opportunity to design and developed their own WebQuests on any topic of their choice.
Evaluation: Here the WebQuests developed by the trainers is subjected to evaluation using an evaluating rubric. This would enable the trainer to determine if the WebQuests developed is a good one or not.
