This award winning* WebQuest is designed for students (pre-service teachers) in the Computers in Education course at Indiana University. It guides students to understand unique characteristics of the digital natives, come up with appropriate instructional strategies for their future classroom, and create an animated movie using a text-to-movie tool called Xtranormal to present their ideas.
​
This WebQuest demonstrates the following competencies:
- Knowledge of project-based learning
- Creating instruction and assessment by practicing the ADDIE process
- Web design skills

* The WebQuest has been selected for the 2011 NSU award for Outstanding Practice by a Graduate Student sponsored by the Association for Educational Communications & Technology (AECT).

​
The project demonstrates the following competencies:
- Extensive knowledge about various instructional methods
- Their theoretical bases and research trends

This site has been created as a class project and used in a graduate course to helps students conduct a usability test. The site provides a description, guiding principles, steps of a usability test, and practices.
