Vivo Class is a private company based in London, UK that sells a web-based rewards system to schools. Founded in 2007, it was first used at Westminster Academy in London.
In August 2014 Vivo Miles was rebranded as Vivo Class for teachers. The company no longer uses Vivo Miles as the company name. In Summer 2015 Vivo started to build a new enhanced version of Vivo Class based around skills and knowledge that will be ready in September 2016.
Rewards systems are implemented in schools to praise students for positive actions, stimulating a voluntary and progressive improvement in their behaviour and increasing their motivation towards the achievement of academic objectives.Vivo Miles is a system of extrinsic rewards based on the principles of the Token economy and positive reinforcement. There has long been a debate about the use of extrinsic rewards and the effect that they may, or may not have on pupils' motivation.
Vivo Class uses a simulated economic system where the currency are electronic points called Vivos (pronounced Vee-vos). School teachers award their students Vivos for their achievements and positive actions according to the reward criteria set by their tutors and school management. Every school customises the rewards platform in line with their own goals based upon their academic initiatives, objectives and ethos. Teachers have access to an online platform where they can manage the amount of points or Vivos awarded to every student.
Each pupil gets a private online profile where they can check how many points they have earned and know the actions they were rewarded for as well as the teacher or member of the school staff that awarded those points. Pupils receive a personalised plastic card which they can use to access their accounts and manage their credits. However, Vivo have updated their system so that the students Vivo card is no longer required to purchase goods from the vivo shop, they just need their password. Students can redeem their points in an online catalogue where they can choose from a range of products approved by the school management and partly selected by them in consensus.
