WebQuests are among the most popular techniques to enhance collaboration in learning; they are an inquiry-based activity, grounded on constructivist learning theory, where the information that learners interact with is mostly found on the Internet.
We present here a system that offers computer-support during a WebQuest, by offering a structured discussion and debate space, besides the navigation and resource sharing. We integrate the WebQuest design process with an operational design phase and describe how our system can completely support the design of a computer-supported WebQuest.
