‘Connect to Me’: Affective Learner Experience Design for Virtual STEM Peer Mentor Training

• In Event: D&D- Learning Experience Design: Research and Practice (h)

Short Description

This study examined the learner experience design (LXD) of a newly revised virtual STEM peer mentoring program designed for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Data were analyzed suggesting modified a priori LXD codes identified by Tawfik et al. (2021). Results revealed several affective-based reactions that have not been readily considered in the LXD literature. Recommendations for improving the user experience and expanding LXD codes are provided.
