Hi Alex, and thanks for the encouraging reply. The format that the activities
and games take will be determined by the team appointed in consultation with
school staff and young people. They may be web hosted but not web based for
example, and it's likely they will include activities for groups. We've put up
a little more info on our blog: Wikipedia - support for schools

The Wikipedia Adventure game is great - I'll be sure to pass on the link and
your contact details to the team appointed (if they aren't already aware of
them).
Many thanks! Josie

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Education] Wikipdia information literacy resources for
secondary school/K12 learners
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

For those of you who haven't seen it, Leicester City Council are currently
tendering for a team to work on a short games based learning project with
schools and 13/14 year olds, to create games to support Wikipedia use and
engagement: http://www.sourceleicestershire.co.uk/contracts/show/id/12580
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@josiefraser
