Hyper-Quests®
Interactive, Student-Centered, Multimedia/Internet Investigations and Activities
Card 2: This card will act as a menu to the rest of the template cards. They will follow the same format as the Hyper-Quest stack. The buttons from the Hyper-Quest stack take the student to this stack and all of the template cards on this stack need to have a button to take the student back to the Hyper-Quest stack. Click on the images to see the full screens.
Card 3: This sample shows how the individual student cards can be arranged to allow them to add their information as they obtain it to their multimedia writing project stack. Your design should include one card for each resource type presented in the Hyper-Quest. The students can add more cards if the need presents itself.
Step 3. The time needed for students to complete their Hyper-Quest depends on the number of resources you've provided students to use in the Hyper-Quest and the quality of work you wish to receive. Evaluation is a critical component of the overall Hyper-Quest experience, so have your expectations set and communicated to the students before they start the project.
This gives a fairly complete example of a Hyper-Quest that makes use of a significant number of resources. Certainly a Hyper-Quest can evolve over time and I encourage you to begin with a version that perhaps uses only one or two resource types to see what success your students have with the process. Although this takes quite a bit of setup work by the teacher at the beginning, the quality of work that the students can produce in an efficient manner will make the task seem very gratifying. We have included three complete Hyper-Quests for you to download on the next page.
Please be willing to share any Hyper-Quests you complete with your classes. Your experience will undoubtedly be valuable for the next person who attempts this process. Look for more completed Hyper-Quests to be available from the HyperStudio Network.
