An important function of Wikiversity is to provide critical evaluations of learning materials and online learning resources. Hunter-gatherers should participate in the critical evaluation of learning resources by editing the Wikiversity pages that are devoted to evaluating learning materials and describing how to integrate them into courses of study.

Wikiversity hunter-gatherers can take on ambassadorial functions and participate in Wikiversity projects that seek to establish collaborations between Wikiversity participants and outside educators (see outreach. These collaborations can involve the development of new learning materials for use either in the wiki user environment or outside of Wikiversity.
