Introduction to Educational Technology

This is my first quest-based class and I think I'm really going to like it.  Why?  First, grading is clearly defined from the beginning.  You know how many experience points you need in order to make a good grade.  So, you complete projects to gain points which drives you toward your goal.  This seems to put assignments in better perspective as opposed to the traditional alternative of turning in assignments and waiting for a grade.  Second, it's fun.  The "quest" drives me to explore more.  I feel like I am in more control of my learning than in traditional classes.
