I don't know, I was thinking about it some more and I think that in any system there will be a set of people that try to take advantage by gaming that particular system. You can hope that set of people is a minority, or that they are overcome by the majority.

Point management (intentionally getting problems incorrect), playing videos while working in other windows, doing one exercise repeatedly, and having a computer program perform a problem over and over for you all seem like they fall into this "gaming" category and at different levels of severity (at least in my opinion).

I expect that if a solution is found to any of these issues, another will arise. I think it is good that we think of solutions and chat about them because who knows, maybe some of the people at KA will catch this site and know that we are also thinking about it.

I just discovered a new concern, some students have found the /private list and there is apparently an exercise there that you can just click on and it automatically returns "correct." I think I remember seeing it myself in the past. Anyway, they are sharing that link with each other now, and using it as another way to "earn" points quickly.

Although I am sure no system will be perfect, I am excited to see how they address some of these issues into the future! Thank you to both of you for your valuable and interesting input and perspective. If I can think of any ideas, I will be sure to share them here and we can discuss!
