The Student Onboarding Mentor helps new learners identify their individual learning strengths and weaknesses before starting a course.
By completing a short, 20-question Likert-style inventory, students receive a personalized learning profile based on four core learning modalities:
- Active and Interactive Engagement
- Collaborative and Cooperative Learning
- Cognitive Strategy-Based Learning
- Informative Feedback and Mastery Learning
The mentor then provides a detailed roadmap for success, including study tips and course-specific recommendations—all designed to help students understand how they learn best and apply those insights to upcoming assignments and activities.
