Gamification in Education

Levels = Grades. Each year is a level. Pass to advance, fail and repeat. Quests = Academic years. Fixed-time missions with objectives to complete. Points = Marks. Harder questions yield more points. Leaderboards = Ranks. Students are compared against each other. Some schools even split leaderboards across sections of the same grade. Boss fights = Board exams. High-stakes challenges that gate access to the next stage. Side quests = Assignments, projects, competitions. Extra recognition for optional tasks.
