  1. Just want let folks know that David Wiley at Brigham Young University used a very similar structure for his course several semesters ago. It was written up in the Chronicle here:

    My colleague at Austin College Kirk Everist and I tried a more circumscribed version of the grading and assignment structure for our Immersion Media course last Spring.

  2. This XP system in class is an amazing idea! I mentioned it on my blog http://migre.me/tAfD (in portuguese).

  3. I know you guys will try to call bullshit…but I was in this class last semester. Fall 09′ TEL-T 367

    I got an A 😉
