Backed by research, uBoost embraces the following beliefs and best practices:
Recognition in the form of points, performance-based honor badges, and a coveted spot on achiever leader-boards encourage students to put forth maximum effort. Students are able to choose rewards that interest them - They can purchase merchandise and gift cards; support their favorite charitable cause; customize their own safe, virtual environment; or participate in contests to win premium rewards such as iPods and Amazon.com gift cards. To maintain engagement, uBoost continues to offer new rewards and contests to keep up with students' changing interests and to ensure relevance throughout the school year.
uBoost partners directly with web-based educational publishers, district administrators, online schools, tutoring companies, and private education companies to design and implement student recognition and rewards programs.
