    Gamification. Marketers love it, game developers love to hate it. I hardly know what to make of it. At its most basic definition, it is the application of game-play mechanics in nongame settings. It is increasingly used by marketers to sell more products and encourage desired consumer behaviors.

This article addresses all three questions - what,  how, and why bother? - while exploring both the potential benefits and pitfalls of gamification."

    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.
