What have you learned and how do you intend to apply it? I REALLY like the Experience Points and plan to use them when I build my next class. The students will earn minimal XP's for completing the assignment/ discussion board... yet if they add more creativity, external resources and application/ integration of concepts, they can earn more XP's... 1, 3, 5 or something along those lines. I want there to be SOME way of motivating the students to ENJOY THE PROCESS instead of merely being concerned with grades.
Your explanation of grades being something you are essentially "losing" from day one, compared with XP's being something you "gain" is very enlightening to me. I MUCH prefer building towards what I want, instead of guarding against what I don't want.
