Nudging 360° MOOC: A Gentle Push Toward Digital Confidence

Nudging 360° MOOC

Empowering Educators through Self-Nudging and Digital Innovation

The Nudging 360° MOOC is an interactive online programme designed to help higher education educators build digital confidence, strengthen inclusive practices, and use ethical self-nudging strategies to transform their teaching. Each module provides practical tools, reflective activities, and low-barrier techniques that turn small changes into lasting impact.

This is a complementary resource to the Nudging Toolkit for Administrators and to the Self-Nudging Toolkits for Educators, contained in the Nudging 360 Manual. The Nudging 360° Manual is a practical guide that helps higher education professionals apply behavioural insights to digital teaching and learning. It offers hands-on strategies for both educators and administrators to make digital adoption easier, more engaging, and sustainable. Click BELOW to find out more about the toolkit.

The Nudging 360° Manual is a practical guide designed to help higher education professionals integrate digital practices through behavioural science techniques. It is composed of 4 main parts and it contains a navigation map that will guide to your most needed resource:

  • Part I: General Introduction – About Nudging 360°: The background of the project and an introduction to the concept of nudging
  • Part II: Nudging Toolkit for Higher Education Administrators: Practical strategies and insights for HE administrators to encourage and help HE educators in using digital tools more effectively in the classroom.
  • Part III: Self-Nudging Toolkit for Higher Education Educators: Self-nudging techniques for HE Educators to help adopt digital tools in their work.
