Professor Ditches Grades For XP System
schliz writes "Like in World of Warcraft, students of Indiana University's game design classes start as Level 1 avatars with 0 XP, and progress by completing quests solo, as guilds, or in 'pick up groups.' Course coordinator Lee Sheldon says students are responding with 'far greater enthusiasm,' and many specifics of game design could also be directly applied to the workforce. These included: clearly defining goals for workers; providing incremental rewards; and balancing effort and reward."
P.S.
Limbaugh's bad info: "Net neutrality means google will equally display Republican and Democrat pages. Like a Fairness Doctrine for the net."
This is why I stopped listening to Limbaugh. He spreads false information. Like when he said a hybrid can only go 80 miles/hour maximum. He's almost as bad as Rachel Maddow.
Net neutrality is NOT about creating a fairness doctrine for the net - it's about ensuring Comcast, Verizon, and other local monopolies don't block access to sites they don't like (such as limbaugh.com)
FOX NEWS.com should be BANNED from television and internet. Have the Congress take it over and give us Truespeak.
That's not entirely true either. Net Neutrality also involves traffic other than browsing and web sites. It could be as simple as AT&T dsl service slowing down VoIP traffic because it competes with their traditional telephone services. Or Comcast could restrict sites like Hulu because it could cut down viewership and then for its ad revenue for its cable television offerings. The issues you brought up are part of the debate as well but that's not all there is to it.
I'm sorry, you're replying to YOUR OWN SIG which is itself off topic. As much as I like spreading awareness of network neutrality, don't do that.
