I would look at the time discussion as more of a shift to mastery-based learning from seat-time based learning.  Motivate students, either K-20 or adult, to master material and gain credit/certification at their pace so they can complete courses in less time if they are capable of doing so.

To Grid's points: I think the opportunity to just play contributes to the draw of coming back over and over. We have so many choices to pursue different goals, both hard and easy fun.

@Kae well i think most instructors/professor don't even understand what "Online Presence" and nor would they understand why they would need it :/

[Vgiannoutsos]

well @ kae most instructors/professors don't even know what "Online Presence" is let alone know why they would need it

[KristinaThoennes]

So how can we put more fun and play in professional development communities? We also get a lot of clear feedback as we accomplish things in game.

[bluebarker]

well, my one criteria is: it has to be blue!
