Feature: Strategic Interventions: Grade-Based Nudging in Online and Hybrid Courses

Rochelle Rodrigo ; Beth Eyres ; Sara Walton

Abstract

In this article, we share strategies and data from a study constructed in a faculty learning community using course analytics to design, deliver, and track instructor-student communication—in the form of “nudges”—to improve student success. Although we do not feel comfortable making generalized conclusions from such a small sample, we think our data suggests that many students positively benefited from grade-based nudging. We also think it was extremely important that our nudging interventions focused on all students within the class, not only those who were not doing well. However, we acknowledge that the majority of the instructors said this type of work takes time.
