Work Example: Diversity Project

Internship Project: Newsletter, Workshops & Podcast


As part of my internship during my bachelor's in Educational Science, I designed a diversity training for the Learning Design team at LearnChamp.


The project "Diversity in e-learning" included workshops to reflect the learning designer's individual practices, a collection of best practice examples, and a weekly newsletter.

As a result of this project, diversity-sensitive aspects, especially gender-appropriate language, were specifically listed as a core skill of the learning design team. This was presented to the sales team as a factor in increasing revenue and quality of future projects.


Learners Journey


The learner's journey started with a welcome mail, followed by a weekly newsletter on different topics.

All newsletters were published on the internal Wiki pages for further research.


After 4 weeks, a follow-up workshop was organized which included brainstorming & discussion sessions on how to make e-learning courses more diverse. Afterwards, Diversity-bingo pages were handed out and a guide based on the discussion and project content was created.
