When students earn rewards for achieving high standards, it creates a positive feedback loop that increases their interest, involvement, and performance evaluations, leading to greater competence and intrinsic motivation. This cycle of motivation can be supported through a system like uBoost that maps student desires to features, targets positive behaviors for achievements and recognition from peers, family, instructors, and community in a frequent, automated way to increase engagement and desired outcomes at low cost.
