First, I appreciate receiving your checklist form and I have some
questions re: its use. Did you intend for teachers to complete this
form as a prerequisite and submit it when they submit the WebQuest? Or
did you intend it for our (staff developers) use? One of our problems
has been that teachers generally ignore looking at the checklist and
submit WebQuests with numerous items on the checklist missing. Will
requiring them to do a checklist form like this at the time of
submission improve the WebQuests? I think so, but my colleague, Joe,
does not. He thinks it will only be viewed as an additional
bureaucratic step, and that teachers will simply spend ten seconds
checking all of the "yes" choices.
Overall, I think it would hopefully force teachers to consider the
criteria prior to submission, but Joe is probably right (he usually is).

Dear Jim,
I've developed an online version of the TIPS WebQuest check-off which
can be easily adapted to collect, collate and verify projects'
compliance by participants. http://users.erols.com/sjfeld/tipsppa.htm
Let me know about its applicability. I would like to develop
a similar form for the PowerPoint component.
