If the objective is to help students locate and use internet information resources through guided tasks, which activity best fits?

• A. Webquests
• B. Scavenger Hunt
• C. Distance education
• D. Hybrid course

Answer: (B)

The task emphasizes guiding students to locate and use internet information resources through structured, supported steps. A WebQuest provides that exact framework: a teacher-designed sequence with clear tasks, roles, and guiding questions, plus a curated set of online resources. Students follow the process to search, evaluate source credibility, collaborate, and produce a final product. This level of scaffolding helps learners develop information-literacy skills as they navigate the web.

A scavenger hunt can involve finding information online, but it’s often more about locating specific items quickly and may lack the deeper guidance, source evaluation, and synthesis that a WebQuest explicitly offers. Distance education and hybrid course describe how learning is delivered rather than the specific activity that develops internet research skills.
