The Lego wall of Challenge is a very clever idea.

My daughter is enjoying the challenge and frustration of her online AOPS class, and I've concluded that part of this is because she can check what is essentially her automated progress score. After working for 1/2 hour, it might go up by 1 or 2%. It is very slow going, but it is just enough reinforcement to keep her going when the going gets tough. I also think it works because she knows it is an honest assessment. No one is patting her on the back or telling her "you can do it".
