Gamification in Education: What, How, Why Bother? by Joey J. Lee, Jessica Hammer - 4 views

  •  
    "Today's schools face major problems around student motivation and engagement. Gamification, or the  incorporation of game elements into non-game settings, provides an opportunity to help schools solve these  difficult problems. However, if gamification is to be of use to schools, we must better understand what  gamification is, how it functions, and why it might be useful. This article addresses all three questions - what,  how, and why bother? - while exploring both the potential benefits and pitfalls of gamification."

Grading with Experience Points (XP) - 4 views

  •  
    Using an experience point system instead of a grading system. While the numbers are similar, the execution is different. Students start with 0 points and work their way up in an XP system, rewarding knowledge and skills gained. This is different from a typical grading system, which assumes you have an A at the beginning and removes points for every failure. Two totally different ways at looking at how to quantify student learning.
