What are the motivational / game aspects of DreamBox Learning?
• Game Characters: Each student gets to select a game character from among more than two dozen different characters. This game character will represent the student on screen as he/she goes through the adventures. • Themes: We are offering a choice of four themes, Pirates, Pixies, Dinosaurs, and Pets. The student is introduced via colorful animations to a collection of fun and silly characters, and invited to come along on their adventures. There are more fun animations to reward completing the adventure as well as steps along the way. Each theme has 8 adventure stories; a student can switch themes (at interim milestones such as finding an item or finishing a story) to experience all of the themes. • Lesson Motivators: As a good teacher or tutor would do, we encourage and cheer on the student with audio prompts. In addition, lessons have fun animated progress bars to help the student reach for the goal. • Rewards: As students progress, they periodically find a “reward” on their lesson m
