Today’s educators are being asked to incorporate critical thinking, cooperative learning, authentic assessment, and technology in teaching. WebQuests were designed to bring the most effective instructional practices together in a student-led, teacher-driven activity.

Apollo 1b is the credible site. If you back link it you get to the official NASA site with a .gov address. On the other hand Apollo 1a gets you to a site that has been changed several times in the past few years with a .com address. We also ran a domain check and this confirmed 1b's affiliation with NASA.

Apollo 1b is DEFINATELY the more credible site. I followed the instructions in the steps and found what almost everyone else found.
If you backlink the 1b site, you eventually get to the NASA site, whereas, the 1a address is connected to a .com (money making) site. 1b is affiliated with NASA (a .gov site), whereas 1a is not.
The links to credible sources, and the URL's all point to 1b being the more credible site.
After reading everybody else's comments, I want to go back and try what Sarah did, just to see.
This was very interesting.

I also concurr with the Apollo 1b as being the legitimate site. I tried back linking and they both came back to the same URL's. Then I did a google search link: and found that apollo 1a had some very questionable links not at all related to the main URL. It had for profit links (.com), foreign country links (.ru), supposed .edu links. and the like. While apollo 1b seemed to have passed all the "tests" for checking legitimate sites.

Congratulations! You all came up with the correct answer. By the way, the Brain site is down, so I removed it from the exercise.
