To build mentoring competencies and mentor and mentee confidence, the eLearning course learners needed to see characters like them completing often very challenging mentoring tasks. I used Vyond.com's animated video tools to allow learners to observe mentoring skills and behaviors in action. I created and voiced the example case video above. 

Learners also needed the opportunity to actively apply the skills in a risk-free environment. I combined animated videos with Articulate Storyline to present cases with multiple possible responses to mentor/mentee dilemmas. Learners used their module knowledge to choose the correct response. 

The module design was guided by the Theory of Self-Efficacy. Learning elements were aligned with his four sources of self-efficacy. I wrote and implemented a usability test protocol with ethnic and racial minority women in STEM fields.
