All the most addictive apps and games out there give you points when you take action. As a result, they’re incredibly motivating!

But for some reason, it just never caught on for online courses.

That’s why GetHealthyEDU puts points front and center, a critical feature of your students’ experience with your course.

Just add points and your students will want to keep earning them day and night!

Going back to Charles Skinner’s experiments with pigeons. His real breakthrough was in introducing “variable rewards” into the experiment.

The pigeon would press a lever and sometimes they’d get a small treat, other times a large treat, and other times nothing at all. This small change produced shocking results.

Not knowing when they’d get the next reward, the pigeons pecked incessantly until they received it, actually became “feverish” and “unrelenting” when the reward was no longer predictable.

Turns out that humans react to variable rewards in the same way as pigeons, and it’s the reason games & social media are so addictive.

Marketers will tell you that the day they close their promotion will have the highest amount of sales. Why?

👉 Nobody wants to miss out.

We hate it when TV pitchmen (or anyone else) use urgency to move us to make a decision, but human nature responds to it, big time.

Most course platforms ignore this fact of life. But GetHealthyEDU takes human nature in stride.

Just add a little urgency to your course and you'll be amazed at how much more will get done. And after all, isn’t that the goal? Getting more people to complete your course? GetHealthyEDU can make it happen.

People love social media. They watch likes and shares closely and discuss anything and everything online.

Part of this is for social approval.

But most online courses are designed to be done in isolation. There’s no feedback. Not from the course creator. Not from others. And that’s demotivating.

That’s where GetHealthyEDU shines. It incorporates fun ways for your students to get important social approval & feedback and have a little fun too.

There's a reason why "gym buddies" help us to keep going to the gym when we would have given up.

Just like a gym buddy, a great community can help students stay motivated, on track and taking action.

It's a fact that people will buy your course for the result you promise, but they'll stay for life when they feel connected to a community.

GetHealthyEDU builds a powerful community for you automatically, right from the very first moment.

DescriptiPlayer milestone & achievement celebrations is a favorite feature in virtually every single video game.

And it's for good reason: we love being celebrated for our effort, especially when it's unexpected.

But typically, courses don't celebrate us for anything. In fact, your only “win” for hitting a goal is usually yet more work. And that's demotivating for students, and can drive them to quit your course.

We've borrowed the idea of milestone & achievement celebrations and put it to work in courses, so that your students feel constantly celebrated, validated and motivated.

The best games personalize the experience to you. They respond to your actions, and you get a customized journey. That’s part of the reason they’re so addictive.

Why don’t courses do that? They do now.

Think of GetHealthyEDU like your own unpaid employee who watches your students 24/7 to find ways to create an amazing experience for them.

The Experience Engine calculates exactly what's needed for each student so they engage more deeply, take more action, so they get results, and buy from you again.
