Students entering health professions educational programs today have grown up and grown older in an unparalleled age of computers and connectivity. Yet most of these students face challenges in applying their information technology and information literacy abilities because most of them have never received formal training, have only a limited understanding of the tools they use, and underuse those tools. WebQuests are a unique method for enhancing students' information technology and information literacy competencies. As inquiry-oriented, engaging, and student-centered activities, WebQuests promote high-level thinking and problem-solving skills. Although WebQuests are used extensively in primary and secondary educational institutions, they have received limited attention in higher education settings. The authors describe the history of WebQuests and, using examples from a series of WebQuests used in an undergraduate informatics for healthcare course, offer specific guidelines for developing relevant WebQuests for nursing education.
如今进入健康职业教育项目的学生，是在一个计算机和网络连接空前发达的时代长大并成熟起来的。然而，这些学生中的大多数在应用信息技术和信息素养能力方面面临挑战，因为他们中的大多数从未接受过正规培训，对所使用的工具只有有限的了解，并且没有充分利用这些工具。网络探究学习（WebQuest）是提高学生信息技术和信息素养能力的一种独特方法。作为以探究为导向、引人入胜且以学生为中心的活动，网络探究学习促进高层次思维和解决问题的能力。尽管网络探究学习在中小学教育机构中被广泛使用，但在高等教育环境中却受到的关注有限。作者描述了网络探究学习的历史，并以本科医疗保健信息学课程中使用的一系列网络探究学习为例，为护理教育开发相关网络探究学习提供了具体指导方针。
