My XP is a virtual learning environment (VLE) for gamification of 
education, and is implemented as a Basic LTI extension.

My XP has been tested with Blackboard, but should also be compatible 
with other VLEs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To use My XP:
  1) Using your everyday or corporate Google account, upload a copy 
     of the example spreadsheet (converting to a Google spreadsheet).
  2) Enter student details, matching the IDs used in your VLE.
  3) Create a new Google account, and share a copy of the 
     spreadsheet with your new Google account (your new account only 
     needs read access to the spreadsheet).
  4) Upload My XP to a Web server.
  5) Edit the My XP config file (config.php), and enter:
    - a new shared consumer key and secret (just randomly generate 
      some nicely random strings)
    - the username and password for your new Google account, which 
      has read access to your spreadsheet
    - the spreadsheet URL
    - the date the semester starts and ends
    - the location on the Web server of the Zend library path
  6) Replace the banner image in images/banner.png
  7) In your VLE, configure it to add a Basic LTI tool provider, and
     enter the URL of xp.php, and the various shared secrets.
  8) Expose a link to the My XP Basic LTI tool to students
  9) Enjoy.
