Abstract | While on-line teaching is increasing, it presents challenges for many students who find it more difficult to organise their studies and engage with their learning. A proactive strategy embraced by some higher education on-line teachers is to increase students’ engagement by “nudging”, particularly low or non-engaged, students. A nudge is an attempt to alter students’ behaviour by reinforcing the importance of critical content, assessment-linked activities, or key resources. A nudge works best by following a ‘nudge protocol’ that includes: * determining what to nudge (a key resource or activity) * promoting a key resource to the whole student cohort * identifying who to nudge (those students who have not accessed the resource at a particular point in time), and * constructing and sending a “strength based” communication to the identified students. |
