I'm seeking feedback for my Google Summer of Code
project. A
description is available at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Drakefjustin/Fill-in-the-blanks Justin, I have
taken a look at your project, a "fill-in-the-blanks"
extension for MediaWiki. Your abstract, to help others in the thread:
This project aims to make learning content from
Wikipedia articles
more interactive. I want to develop a fill-in-the-blanks extension for
MediaWiki, where blanks are made by removing (at random?) links from
an article. The key observation is that an article's wikilinks hold
pertinent and localized information, easily exploitable for learning
(and quizzing!).
Thanks for the mockup at
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Fill-in-the-blanks.jpg which
is useful.
Would users who want to be quizzed turn it on in their user
preferences? Or are you envisioning a per-page switch/button? Or some
kind of combination of these?
This might be too detailed for right now, but would you do stemming or
something like that to allow for almost-right answers?
best,
