Abstract
The researchers in this study undertook development of a webquest evaluation rubric and investigated its reliability. The rubric was created using the strengths of the currently available webquest rubrics and made improvements based on the comments provided in the literature and feedback received from educators. After the rubric was created, twenty-three participants were given a week to evaluate three pre-selected webquests using the latest version of the rubric. A month later, the evaluators were asked to re-evaluate the same webquests. The statistical analyses conducted on this rubric demonstrated high levels of reliability.
