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