This is Part 16 in my continuing saga of my current iteration of a gamified course.<\/p>\n

SO at the end of week two I have a greater % of students with “points on the board” than I ever have. This is encouraging. I still don’t know if it is because I have a better batch of students or if it’s because I’m doing a better job – I suspect there’s a bit of both.<\/p>\n

I think I’m learning how to introduce the things they need to know.<\/p>\n

Right now the average score is 47 and the high score is 107.\u00a042\/48 students have submitted work for assessment, and I’ve marked 146 items. I have calculated a submission rate that is steady based on a simple formula (based on what week it is and how many points they need for an A) and no-one has met it yet, but it’s very early in the course and I expect things to pick up in the next few weeks – especially as students start\u00a0to submit some of achievement quests.<\/p>\n

It’s worth asking…. how many students have had 2 rounds of marking in their other courses? How many have already received feedback? This is a big deal. I think it’s worthwhile to start giving students feedback early and often.<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n
