Let's Talk About Race is a series of 3 anti-racism (DEI) modules co-developed with subject matter experts from George Brown College (Toronto, Canada).
The simulations, which together take about 1h to complete, take both staff and student on a reflective journey through a collection of stories that examine the effects of privilege, bias and microaggressions on black indigenous and people of color.
The initial deployment phase at GBC aimed to measure learning performance and test the scalability of of the solution for remote and asynchronous learning.
The simulations were distributed via VR, PC and mobile.
Learners using their own devices were given the opportunity to self-enroll via single URL distributed by faculty staff. Upon completion, learners received a summary of learnings as well as a shareable completion certificate.
Results, as measured through an in-app survey exceeded expectations on all key metrics running across all modules: understanding, confidence, effectiveness and recommendation.
Diving deeper into behavioral data, the results show significant increases in confidence on transformative skills such as one’s confidence in using strategies to respond to microaggressions, ability to detect one’s own bias or recognizing privilege.
