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
