This research aims to explore the use of persuasive technology within the educational context. Technology has previously been applied to aid teaching and to encourage skills development and learning in various educational settings, primarily targeting students who are already in education. This research, however, addresses individuals who are not involved in education or who may choose not to continue in education: persuasive technology will be investigated for its potential to motivate these individuals to enter higher education if it is an appropriate option for them.
