C. RuddsI suggest that this be an option within Packback for those classes or students who are not incentivized by game theory. I teach a gender studies course with a small number of students and had a male student express concern about his being on the top of the leaderboard. He is worried that it might be perceived by other students as dominating the conversation when, in fact, he is just really engaged. Even though instructors tell students to ignore the Leaderboard, its presence can backfire and affect participation.
