Hi Mariann,
Your looks like an excellent resource for adult ed!  Blue Web'n 
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/
is a fabulous source of webquests for K-12, but unless they are heavily 
adapted, they don't work for adult ed because of the shorter time we see 
students and their spotty attendance patterns.  But something like this, 
more indidivualized that the K-12 quests, is a real boon for us in adult ed. 
Thanks!

Also, Quia.com, which I have adored lo these many years, lets you make your 
own "scavenger hunts" which are like webquests and can be on exactly what 
you are teaching.  I haven't used trackstar or Blackoard, so I can't compare 
them.
