About this event

  • 1 hour

"Grade Nudge" is a free program that has been shown to improve student performance by a half letter grade. This is a hands-on workshop that will teach you all you need to know to implement Nudge in your class.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • How "Grade Nudge" works: Provides students clear information on their current standing and potential grade outcomes depending on their performance on assignments.
  • Research backed! A randomized trial revealed a 4 percentage point rise in student performance (e.g., from a C+ to a B-) compared to the impact of reminder emails.
  • Focus on retention: Aligned with UNO's commitment to student success, "Grade Nudge" can be a valuable tool to keep students engaged and on track.
  • Nudge your class in under five minutes! "Grade Nudge" is easy to learn and use, and the impact on your students can be significant.
  • UNO Implementation: We'll address how recent IT changes at UNO may affect using "Grade Nudge" and how to navigate them.
