The quest-based learning approach -- popular on some university campuses -- is beginning to emerge in K-12 classes, suggests Dave Guymon, an online educator in Idaho. In this blog post, he writes that QBL is founded on elements of game design in learning communities and allows students to take charge of their education by choosing activities that promote learning instead of assignments. Research indicates that under this instructional method, students have been shown to do more work, earn higher grades and outperform in other ways, he writes.
