Yes and no: in the beginning a Webquest was a clever set of fill-in webpages to put your classroom activity online. The inspiration was to send students on a discovery trip over the waves of WWW. Using this as a formula or a trick can kill the best ideas: I have seen awfull examples of that in Moodle too..
Bernie Dodge and Tom March did not stop with the templates, but developed ideas about the different roles students must fulfill to finish a succesfull project and also other aspects: they even disagreed about the direction the next generation Webquest should move.
Trying to implement these roles in a Moodle module failed, but when we have roles it will revive, I think..
We even could (now) try to make a combination of a new course format for a webquest with groups as roles, mmm
