“…Secondly, a secondgeneration WebQuest called 'TalenQuest' (Koenraad, 2002) was designed to promote the use of ICTs to learn foreign languages. Thirdly, a third generation WebQuest, 'Cybertask' (Girón-García, 2013), consisted of an online task that involved students in using the Internet to collect, use and transform the information obtained from the Internet to learn ESP (Girón-García & Silvestre-López, 2019). Finally, an online task adapted from the Cybertask model (i.e., 'Lesson') and integrated into a Moodle platform (Dougiamas & Taylor, 2002) makes a distinction with respect to the online tasks.…”

Advances in educational technology offer many opportunities in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classroom: the development of students’ motivation and autonomy; the integration and evolution of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) with the emergence of different types of online learning tasks; or the concern of students’ Perceptual Learning Styles in multimodal environments. This study investigates new generations’ perceptual learning preferences and how digital tendencies may influence students’ academic achievement after the implementation of an online task (i.e., ‘Lesson’). An experimental (n=150) and a control group (n=21), from the first year of the bachelor’s degree in Law at a Spanish university participated in this study. Four stages were followed: (1) ‘Perceptual Learning Styles’ Questionnaire’ completion, (2) ‘Lesson’ performance, (3) online exam implementation, and (4) data analysis. After the intervention, results indicate the presence of the ‘Multimodal’ learning style and high levels of academic achievement of multimodal students.

“…Besides, in the EFL classroom, at university level, students are required to manage different online resources in an efficient way in order to learn relevant content. In that case, the present work has described the implementation of two online activities based on the WebQuest model (Dodge, 2001) called 'Cybertasks' (Girón-García, 2013;Girón-García & Silvestre-López, 2019) carried out with two groups of students enrolled in the subjects Linguistics and Legal English at a Spanish university.…”

“…Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are a powerful means to reinforce traditional teachinglearning methodologies in higher education settings, based mainly on lectures, discussions and written exercises (Girón-García & Silvestre-López, 2019). In other words, the use of technology may promote and encourage e-learning, as well as enhance the quality of education at the university level and meet students' learning needs in this digital age.…”

The purpose of this mixed-methods study, which involves a combination of both qualitative and quantitative data analyses, is to survey the perceptions and engagement of higher education students as regards learning theoretical content and vocabulary through the implementation of two online called ‘Cybertasks’. The participants were administered two perception questionnaires in order to gather information concerning their previous knowledge and their acquired knowledge. Additionally, a final written exam was delivered to determine whether there is a correlation between students’ satisfaction with Cybertask completion and their academic achievement.
