Hi Juliana, interesting you mention this! We just got a request from a professor to try to create a moodle course for editing Wikipedia. It would be great to see the material you used.
We are currently still a little unsure about moodle since the problems in usability sound a little like madiawiki problems ;) And the course, like Lila said, is only open for one course and hard to spread. Well, I am interested in hearing more.
