I. Topic: For my Master's Project I plan to create a web-based resource that will teach Marines how to develop and use WebQuests to offer their subordinates learning opportunities that leverage constructivist principles and up-to-date web content.
In the military we are very good at teaching the young Marines anything that they can get good at through drill and repetition. Our efforts in the affected domain are less expert. For example the individual Marine's ability to state that the Corps has a zero tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment doesn't necessarily mean that the Marine has the egalitarian attitude that the policy is intended to promote.
II. Progress. In ETEC 623 I developed a survey questionnaire to gauge potential user's experience and satisfaction with WebQuests.
I also have a mental picture of some of the design, but I try not to focus too much on development since I really haven't conducted a proper analysis.

Brian,
Great idea! It sounds like your plan will be beneficial to the Marines.
What exactly is WebQuests?

Brian,
The analysis is always the most fun part ;-) . Sounds like you have a strong idea of where you are going with this project, so I am sure you will do fine. As for research, I know that Dr.Baek has recommended to myself and another class mate to explore the use of EPSS (Electronic Performance Support Systems) as an option when looking at webbased eductation or support. Don't know if that will help you at all, but just an idea. Have a great day.
