If the 21st century goal is to prepare students for a real world collaborativework environment that includes the use of various assisting technologies then a WebQuest is atool that can be used to achieve that goal.A WebQuest embraces the constructivist's approach to teaching by allowing the teacher to serveas a coach while working with individuals or small groups. If the teacher has created a wellthought out WebQuest or chosen one planned by someone else, they will experience first hand areal life learning experience. Cooperative learning strategies are then applied to necessitate eachstudent's input. By running several WebQuest groups in the same

These included severalpoorly designed toolpaths, poor contour surface finishes and cutting parameters that did notutilize the full capability of the machine. In the redesign step, the information gathered from theprocess analysis, as well as the machine cutting baseline tables, a new manufacturing processplan and “draft” CNC program were generated. For example, optimizing the face-millingoperation by increasing the depth of cut while maintaining a high federate, increasing the peakspindle load to over 140% (projected), provided a significant gain. This change reduced the sub-operation time to about five

Student peers found the tools attractive and engaging as well.Since the perspectives of students are directly embedded in the development process thetools reflect varied learning styles that resonate well with the students. Since the toolswere created by the students for their peers there should be no need for significant timeinvestment in learning how to use the courseware, and to take advantage of the benefitthey offer. Another set of quantitative assessment is planned for the next class of 30students this spring that would have no prior exposure to the learning tools before thecourse.VII.
