  • Breakdown of the BCTs and how to ideate with them

  • Real-world case studies from organizational change, digital health, and sustainability

  • Ideation Canvas, Templates, AI prototyping tool and BCT Chat Assistant


Break down of the Behavior Change Techniques

Behavior Change Techniques or BCT's for short are specific components that make an intervention, feature or experience more effective.

The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (BCTTv1) is made up of 93 techniques categorized into 16 groups. It was created by Susan Michie and colleagues at University College London.

Learn in a practical way and use the materials as guides for your own projects

Worked examples on whiteboard

You will get 3 worked examples on a Miro board and see step-by-step how you would be able to select the techniques.

Toolkit with translated examples

You will get a toolkit with already translated examples to make it easy for you to create your own examples.

Ideation canvas

Explanation of how you can ideate techniques with your team, including an ideation canvas you can use when ever you need to.

Leverage AI and Behavior Change Techniques together

AI Prototyping

See how you can use AI to design digital features that incorporate behavior change techniques in minutes.

AI Assistant Included

A GPT assistant to help you and your team spark ideas with behavior change techniques.

Video Lessons with Step-by-Step Examples

The video lessons are meant to help you understand and apply the course material in your own work and projects.

Keep them always on hand and use them as a reference for design when ever you need them.

Each example will highlight some differences in tools, frameworks and approaches that we use, to give you more choices and help adapt it to your context.

In this key moment, we explore how writing out Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs) can prevent oversight during the design phase.

Course Structure

PART I - Theory

Module 1: Recap on Behavior Science and Behavior Design

This module will give you an overview of what behavioral science and behavior design is.

Module 2: Learn what Intervention Design is

This module will provide you with a better understanding of what intervention design is.

Module 3: Behavior Change Techniques

This module will help you understand what a Behavior Change Technique (BCT) is.

Module 4: Ideation

This module will help you how to select behavior change techniques when ideating.

Module 5: Evaluation

This module will provide you with complimentary frameworks and how to evaluate with your behavior change techniques.

PART II - Practice

Here we will use behavior change techniques in practice by showcasing 3 worked examples with ideation and prototyping with AI.

The worked examples are:
Step by Step Example 1: Organisational Behavior
Step by Step Example 2: Digital Health
Step by Step Example 3: Environmental Behavior

Certification

After you have finished all the lessons in the Behavior Change Techniques Course, you will get a certificate to show that you have completed the course.

Each certificate comes with its own unique ID, the name of the course, and the date it was awarded.
