Recently I have created a Points System for Second Life, a virtual world platform for educators -
Now I know you've all probably heard a lot of unsavory reports about how Second Life is used in negative ways, but it also has a bright side - and that is as a platform for virtual world education!
Anyhow, My points system filters points earned in the Virtual world directly into the gradebook - so, virtual tasks can be assigned to your students in 3d, and those tasks actually count for points towards their final grade.
If you'd like to see how "The Sloodle Awards System" works, you can view a machinima I made here:
