Hi Josie,
That sounds like a really interesting project. At the Wikipedia Library, we
have been thinking a lot about readerly literacy in Wikipedia (and hope to
build a portal to expose people to research literacy information), and the
age group that you are targeting these materials for, would be fairly good
for a public audience as well. Will this work product/game based learning
material have to be in an on-wiki format?
It would be awesome if we could distribute it more broadly, while keeping
people on Wikipedia. I am thinking the game-architecture used for the The
Wikipedia Adventure (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure ) would
allow for such a piece of information to be shared with members of the
editing community and become a standard link on things like welcome
templates.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Please do pass on to people you know who the work might suit. For those
outside the UK, the outputs will of course all be shared under an open
licence and I'll post an update to the list.
Best, Josie Fraser
