Thank you for making such a well articulated post Ranvir. The focus on using a LMS as more than an online delivery method for digital versions of stale paper handouts, is spot on. As a teacher in the secondary system, which in my view seems to have one foot in outdated classroom baed curriculum delivery methods and the other foot tentatively stepping into more modern online delivery, I think this report could prove beneficial to those outside of higher education as well.

Yes – I knew that my mom was wrong when she was saying I was wasting my time watching television and playing games. The former as I now work in television and the latter because of your post!
At the moment there seems to be a clear business focus to the strategy. I will have to look into Rajat some more and see if there are any desires or plans to get into education-gamification. To have players like him developing this area would really start to see a strong positive impact in this field I think.
Thanks Ranvir
