The Task block in a WebQuest is a description of what the learner will have done at the end of the exercise. It could be a product, like a HyperStudio stack or PowerPoint presentation, or it might be a verbal act, such as being able to explain a specific topic.

For example, look at the Task sections of these pages:

MexQuake, by Edith Kelly and Ryen Partin, ends in a newpaper account and videotaped newscast in Spanish

In Searching for China, by Tom March, students use a HyperStudio template to create a report that synthesizes their findings.

In the Archaeotype WebQuest, student teachers were given a template in HTML to summarize what they'd learned and to present their final reports.

In the Gold Rush Players' WebQuest, fourth grade students used their research on that era to design and stage a play.
