Bernie Dodge
Bernie Dodge is a Professor of Educational Technology at San Diego State University. He says that his professional focus includes the "design, implementation, and evaluation of computer-based learning environments," (Dodge). He originally designed the WebQuest when working with student teachers. He wanted the student teachers to learn about an educational software called Archaeotype, but he did not have the software or means to use the software. So instead he created a way for the student teachers to research the software instead. A few weeks after teaching this lesson he designed the template and decided on the name WebQuest (Star, 2007).
