About the Mentor Application
The reference solution (Mentor) uses all the microservices available in this building block, like Mentor, Notifications, Scheduler, and User Management. It scaffolds the following processes:
- Build an open network of mentors, who can host mentoring interactions.
- Make them searchable (discoverable) by registered mentees or mentors.
- Discover mentors and establish contact with them.
- Communicate to plan the implementation of the mentoring sessions.
- Capture feedback to evaluate the quality of interaction.
The Mentor building block and the associated microservices provide virtual mentorship capabilities. One of the most important things to recognize about mentoring as an approach to learning is that it is incredibly diverse and can have a formal or informal setup.
The Mentor capability can be deployed as a standalone solution or integrated with a learning and development program. Its salient features are as follows:
- Intuitive web interface for all users
- Role-based workflow for mentor, mentee, organization administrator, and session manager
- Mentoring session broadcast and session discovery
- Group (one to many) and one-on-one sessions
- Virtual meeting platforms such as BigBlueButton™ (default) and others
- Communication using email notifications
- Reports for mentors and mentees
- Security features that include password management and tracking devices through which you have logged in to the application.
