摘要：In this paper, we propose a new course support system
based on the principles of self-determination theory. Specifically,
this system is developed to maintain and enhance student
motivation based on their intrinsic motivation. Moreover, we
expect that the proposed system will provide support to students
by enabling them to exchange opinions and ask questions freely
via Twitter. Thereby, we expect that students can easily find
other students who are using the same system. Indeed, it is
known that motivation increases when people feel connected and
related to others. Thus, we expect that student motivation will
develop as students interact with other students and exchange
opinions via the proposed system. We developed the proposed
support system and utilized it in two courses for evaluation. We
then evaluated the same by using questionnaires and analyzing
the tweets of students who took the courses that utilized the
proposed system. As a result, we show that our proposed system
fosters relatedness among the students and increases student
motivation.
