I recall a teacher creating an RPG-like learning system that tracks numbers that help them "level up" by "gaining xp" through activities that help in their weak areas.

Sorry to be lazy to not look it up, but I thought it was an interesting take on gamifying learning.

My HS CS class in 2014 was like this. It was wonderful because it took away the incarceration feeling of normal public school. If I did the work faster than everyone else correctly, I could go and do what I wanted in the school, which motivated other students to finish and motivated me to finish first. I wish other classes were like that.

The only thing close in college was profs who would let you test out of classes, and work on a self study project for the class, I loved that.

My college offers a similar program, and I've heard good things about it from other students who have taken courses with it. https://gradecraft.com/
