#LTHEchat 225: Supporting and Humanising Behavioural Change without Behaviourism – Nudges & Digital Footprints
Thursday, 3 February 7a

Hosted by an early career researcher, educator and incoming doctoral student (Payne), a disabled, undergraduate psychology student (Kennedy) and senior educator (Compton), our interactive Twitter tweetchat aims to explore how behavioural change in online, higher education can be supported without behaviouristic approaches. Specifically, we will engage in discussion on how nudges and digital footprints may be deployed effectively to empower marginalised students – and the potential pitfalls of such data-driven pedagogy.
The live tweet-chat will take place via https://twitter.com/LTHEchat on Thursday, 3 February 2022, 7a-8a AEDT. During this time 6 questions will be posed (one every 10 minutes) – everyone is welcome to contribute (as much or as little as they like) or just to read.
