This is a great help for clarification on some vague understanding ofWebQuest.In the third part, to analyze the reasons of choose Moodle open source system asWebQuest teaching support system at first,then analysis about the design theory,function and installation of Moodle open source system.In the fourth part, to bring up an systematical and exercisable the instructionaldesign process of WebQuest, and analyze detailed its various steps.In the fifth part, use the contents of《Information Technology》which is used inordinary high school as the theme of inquiry design a WebQuest teaching case based onthe Moodle open source system.In the last part, the author provides the innovation of the present research andindicates the limitation of the present research.,In addition, the author also and thefuture research direction as well.
