Content aside, I love the idea of visualizing various skills and their relationships in this World of Warcraft - like style! Nicely done.

Khan Academy could be taking notes and inspiration to replace their current Knowledge Map:

Perhaps this would be a little over the top with gamification, but it could be cute to have a character sheet for every student with their level, experience points, skills and talent specs listed out in tabs. It's fun to look at Online Education as being essentially an MMORPG.

Hell yeah!

Isn't that one of the goals of Khan Academy? Because I remember them saying that they were against grades and that every student deserved a specialized reprot of their skills abilities projects etc

MOOC → MMORPG, not a big difference, but a huge impact. Education should be more fun, less hostile/prison.
