Designing for Behavior Change

4 credits

Students are introduced to existing behavior change theories, frameworks, and research to gain an understanding of why and how behavior changes. Utilizing these insights, students practice theory-driven design to nudge positive behavior change. They analyze current behavior change applications and utilize existing resources to guide their design process. Prerequisite: HCDE 501; HCDE 518; and HCDE 536 (or equivalent graduate level interaction design coursework).
