Psychology for Digital Behavior Change (DBC)

We’ll provide all the training materials, so you’ll only need to bring a pen and some paper.

If you’d like to participate in our live polling and use our behavioral science software, bring a smartphone or tablet.

Our ABD tutorials cover the hands-on part of the lessons taught in DBC and EDP.

Complete our training system in different ways—according to your learning goals and schedule.

We know what works best for most students, so here’s what we recommend:

Schedule 1. Start the video lessons now, then join our next LIVE term
If you complete all the video lessons before the term starts, you’ll enjoy a more relaxed pace of 2–4 hours a week during the LIVE term. Students typically complete the video lessons anywhere from a few days to a few months.

Schedule 2. Complete everything in 9 weeks
Schedule 6–8 hours a week over the 9-week term to finish everything in one shot. We’ve listed the core video lessons you need to watch to get the most out of each tutorial.

Schedule 3. Jump into the LIVE tutorials first, then catch-up on the video lessons
Prefer to dive in and complete background lessons later? Join our ABD tutorials first and slowly go through the video lessons at a flexible pace of 2–4 hours a week. While you may not get as much out of the tutorials with this approach, you will get more out of the lessons later on, with clarity on how the lessons translate into practice.

We teach through a blended learning approach that combines video lessons with LIVE tutorials. Our course Psychology Digital Behavior Change (DBC) includes 15 hours of video lessons, while Emotional Design Psychology and Neuroscience (EDP) includes 10 hours of video lessons. Both classes give you a foundation in psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience for tech. Then when you join ABD, we’ll show you how to translate all those lessons into practice through project-based learning in an interactive online classroom.

We structured ABD as a step-by-step design process that integrates the lessons from DBC and EDP. You’ll have a deeper learning experience if you take both courses. But if you’re only enrolled in one, there’s no problem following along. We summarize the main concepts so that it’s accessible to students in all learning streams.

For LIVE online classes, we’re flexible with late registration for about 1-week. Since we record each session, there’s still time for you to catch up.

If you let it run too long, you may find it tough to get caught up.

If you miss the late registration deadline, you can still sign up any time and get access to our on-demand training. Then join any upcoming LIVE term.

We also have archive recordings of prior terms. Speak to us and we’ll recommend a good term.

We do not allow registration after classroom training has started, as it’s normally too late to catch up.

If you have a scheduling conflict in advance and still want to attend classroom training, we have a few different solutions depending on your situation. Let us know and we’ll find the best way to help get you caught up.

We offer perks to alumni who are continuing their education. If you’re alumni and wish to claim your community rate, contact us via the form. Provide details so we can look up your records.

If you have provided us with advanced notice that you couldn’t make it to your workshop, you will be eligible for future access to the same workshop you signed up for, or the equivalent number of workshop days. However, the onus is on you to contact us in advance of the workshop you want to attend, for any city and time that is convenient for you.

If you have a scheduling conflict, you can move to any future LIVE tutorial at no cost, anytime during your term.

We recommend you pick one term and give it your full focus to get the best learning experience.

We’ll provide all the training materials, which most people markup for their notes, so you’ll only need to bring a pen, some paper and a laptop if you want to take electronic notes, but also if you’d like to participate in our live polling, bring a smart phone or tablet. We’ll provide the wi-fi.

After you complete the registration for classroom training, you’ll find the exact location printed on your ticket, with the street address and room number. The address listed on our website is typically the physical building, but not the exact room number. After completing your ticket purchase, we’ll send you a workshop itinerary sheet with important details and the exact address, room number, and any relevant directions.

We’ll provide all the training materials, so you’ll only need to bring a pen and some paper.
