We are working on the Nudging 360 project. This project addresses the digital transformation in Higher Education by using nudging and self-nudging to enhance HE educators’ digital competencies. Since nudging has not been used to motivate educators on such a large scale, it represents a new and innovative practice for improving teaching skills.
We are always on the lookout for interesting articles about the concept of nudging, particularly when it comes to higher education.
ideas42, is a non-profit, based in the USA. They work to generate social impact across a range of issues, with an emphasis on benefiting those with the least in unequal societies around the world.
In their Subtracting for Success report, they partnered with colleges and universities across the America to apply insights from behavioural science to campus programs and student communications. This is an in-depth report that focuses on a Review of Nudges to Improve Educational Outcomes in the County. It’s a fascinating read and gives us an insight into how nudging can make a difference in education.

Over on the Nudging 360 Project. We are working on the final resources of the project; they will comprise of:
- A Nudging Ethics Council- a group of experts that will oversee the production of our work, ensuring that it is ethically sound.
- A Needs and Prioritisation Map- primary and secondary research conducted in all partner countries, highlighting where HEIs need to improve digital skills.
- A Nudging and Self-nudging Toolkits- Two different toolkits designed to help you implement nudges into your day. One is for self-nudging; the other is for regular nudging.
- Video training for HEI Administrations and a MOOC for self-Nudging HE educators / staff.
