Applicability
Limitations
Should not be used with highly controversial issues requiring conflict resolution skills but can be used for developing skills to work out cooperation between willing parties.
Variations
May be extended by adding a resolution component. This webquest emphasizes bringing all participants together for an airing of their similarities and differences.
