(United States)

MultiPOD's Principal Mentor and Program Coordinator, Fernando Zacarías, participated via Zoom in this scientific event and its pre-conference and post-conference workshops. The mission of the Mentoring Institute is the development, coordination and integration of evidence-based, effective practices of mentoring into research, consulting, and training activities through the application of instructional design standards, training and certification. In addition to new knowledge and networking opportunities, it was rewarding to learn that MultiPOD could be described as a unique initiative in international mentoring and as one of the largest and most diverse virtual mentoring programs. At the workshop on program design, implementation and evaluation, MultiPOD obtained a high score of 27/30 points and a recommendation to pay special attention to the matching of mentor-mentee dyads and a closer monitoring of the mentoring sessions.

Alexandra Mendes Guerra

I have been working with website design and development since 1996 and visual design since 2008. In 2020 I founded BeOn, a website design studio that follows an agile and user-centered approach that adapts to users' needs and customer expectations, and where I can collaborate with partners specialised in Copywriting, SEO, Programming, among others.

I am Bachelor in Computer Engineering and graduated in Design and Multimedia. I have been a member of Squarespace Circle since 2020.

I have supported several organisations around the world, namely through the United Nations online volunteering program and I have also volunteered at other organisations in my own country, for which I have developed websites and graphic material.

I love simple design approaches, usability and good typography. I value the way design and photography improve communication, change perceptions and trigger emotions.
