Bookwidgets Webquests as Microlearning units

 Webquests is one of the task functions within Bookwidgets. 

Just now while I was browsing the 5 examples, it dawned on me that the Webquest is quite a suitable format for a microlearning unit. 

True that the examples in Bookwidgets are not that aligned with the conventional framework of a webquest (which includes 5 stages). But Bookwidgets has the advantage that it can embed other information sources and Bookwidget tasks, making a webquest more self-contained and task-based. This is good for a, say, 15-minute, microlearning unit. 

Will give it a try in my classes. 

Example from Bookwidgets' Gallary:
