E-Mentoring
DEN’s E-Mentoring was created to provide support and engage with students during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is founded on three main pillars that aid students in developing their skills, knowledge, and creativity.
Communication
DEN’s online mentoring, electronic or e-mentoring, has become an important social media tool for communication.
This has meant to continue to offer students the necessary support to develop their skills and knowledge without being in the actual university.
The online, blended approach has supported the students in engaging both with their colleagues and academic staff.
New platforms
Before Covid-19, DEN’s e-mentoring was mostly asynchronous, through messages, emails, and chats. Due to the pandemic, we now use remote technologies like Zoom and Microsoft Teams for synchronous interaction. This helps DEN members engage, organise, deliver projects, and build something new.
Academic support
At the present time DEN is encouraging students to reflect and write their experience of Covid-19 and or produce 3-5 minutes of a video-documentary. Academics and Alumni provide support for them with editing their articles and video. DEN’s online magazine and book will be an avenue where we publish them.
