A fellow from Burlington, ON recently got in touch about a project he’s coordinating with federal government funding.

The successful respondent will provide the technical expertise to create three learning focused, web-based games, each dealing with one of the Essential Skills – Oral Communication, Thinking Skills or Working with Others. The objectives above will be accomplished when young adult learners enhance their knowledge and comfort level with the three Essential Skills through playing these on-line games.

Deadline for proposals is June 11, the budget “shall not exceed $30,000” and the timeline expects release in December. There’s a fair amount of suggested models, including point-and-click adventures (hooray!).

Intrigued? The full Request for Proposals document is here.
