If I didn’t know better, I’d suggest that he merely took the traditional 2000 points the course normally uses and renamed them as XP. 🙂

You might be interested in Lee Sheldon’s course at Indiana University that used “experience points” rather than grades to bring this concept into the classroom. His syllabus for the course is here, and the write up that appeared on the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Wired Campus blog is here.

Given the ongoing gamification trend, it’s clearly something we need to be thinking of in higher ed and dh.

(Incidentally, I also have a huge love/hate relationship with Echo Bazaar, which is both wonderful and amazingly flawed.)

I’m more than a little obsessed with the potential for gaming to be used in educational settings and I would welcome hearing more about new games such as the one described above and their possible ties to learning.

I will at the very least attend and be willing to contribute to a discussion on a session like this, though!
