PMOG (The Passively Multiplayer Online Game) as a tool for information literacy? It seems to have some good potential to merge gaming and info lit from what I can tell so far, but would be very interested in hearing others thoughts on this.
I've created a very basic proof-of-concept PMOG "mission" based around finding e-books on our site here (you need to have registered for PMOG and installed the Firefox plug-in to take part): http://pmog.com/missions/find_books_in_empire_state_college_library
We could potentially integrate such missions into the Info Lit study, Angel courses, and elsewhere.
There is a good article on this tool and it's potential in libraries here:

I'm all for it. Simple quests, based on what we present using Wimba. We can promote through blog and as a fun thing to do after our presentations. That will help info stay fresh, build on what they just learned and give them their own time to do hands-on.
