The Theory behind BrightBirds

BrightBirds uses mobile technology because mobile technology is able of enhancing learning at each point of the didactic design (Jahnke & Norberg, 2013).

BrightBirds features a direct response feature, leading to higher motivation and better results (Laici & Pentucci, 2019).

Space for autonomy is provided within the BrightBird sets, and the nature of the challenges encourages the learner to develop a sense of competence (Deci & Ryan, 1994; Wang, Liu, Kee & Chian, 2019).

How does BrightBirds work?

Users receive challenges and activities on their smartphones. These challenges are part of a predetermined scenario.
The users complete these challenges, individually or in teams, and earn points.
The points serve as the basis for competition elements and rankings.
Tutors follow the users' activities on a dashboard.
