Real Mentoring Experience 13 Digital Literacy and Onl ine Mentoring Strategies Monitoringand Evaluating ProgressDigitally Tracking progress digitally means using online tools to set goals, collect data, and offer feedback, all in a structured, transparent, and ongoing way. This empowers mentors and mentees to see growth, adjust strategies, and celebrate achievements in real time. Digital progress monitoring uses a range of tools, like learning management systems (LMS), spreadsheets, digital portfolios, and assessment platforms, to track mentee development over time. It involves: Setting clear goals with mentees and defining indicators of success. Using tools such as Google Sheets, Trello, or LMS progress dashboards. Collecting evidence including quiz results, reflections, badges, and mentee submissions. Offering timely feedback, which maintains motivation and informs learning paths. Reflecting and adjusting strategies based on data insights. This aligns with DigCompEdu’s “Assessment” competence domain, which highlights using digital tools to assess learner progress (European Commission, 2017). It also mirrors UNESCO’s Monitoring SDG 4 initiatives, which support data-driven educational planning and quality assurance. Practical Examples A mentor uses a shared Trello board where mentees update tasks, tag progress, and mentors comment on achievements. After each video session, the mentor uploads a short quiz via Google Forms, automatically grading and recording results for review. Mentees maintain a digital portfolio on Padlet with weekly reflections; mentors provide feedback via embedded comments. A mentor and mentee set smart goals at the start (e.g. “complete three writing drafts”), with progress tracked visually on a chart. “We started using Google Sheets to track weekly goals, like chapters read or practice exercises done. My mentee loved updating the chart after each session. When she saw her progress visually, she became more confident and engaged. It made our mentoring relationship more collaborative and structured.” Nancy, 51, Mentor and Educator, Greece
