The main findings presented are related with the improvement of the blended learning experiences. Specifically the motivational messages sent by the Motivation Booster to the students help to increase the students' interactions in the system, when they perform collaborative learning activities without the instructor's guide. Besides, these messages influence in the students' intrinsic motivation, which is represented in their motivational factors.
