>t's fun to look at Online Education as being essentially an MMORPG.

Hell yeah!

>have a character sheet for every student with their level, experience points, skills and talent specs listed out in tabs

Isn't that one of the goals of Khan Academy? Because I remember them saying that they were against grades and that every student deserved a specialized reprot of their skills abilities projects etc

MOOC → MMORPG, not a big difference, but a huge impact. Education should be more fun, less hostile/prison.
