As an eLearning Development Director on a college or university campus, you will be working in a very culturally diverse work environment. Students and staff will come from many different diverse backgrounds, and your interview will be looking to hear that you will be able to work in this environment effectively. If you have had direct experience working in a culturally diverse work atmosphere, talk about that experience. You may want to use a story that highlights how you could adapt to working with someone from a different background than you. Suppose you haven't had any direct experience working with people from a diverse range of cultures. In that case, you can give the interviewer confidence by mentioning examples of your ability to be fair and consistent, and sensitive. Be ready and willing to share any resources you use to continue to develop as an educator and ensure the content you use is culturally responsive.

"I have completed several diversity trainings throughout my career, and I try to be fair and consistent in the way I treat everyone. Regardless of anyone's culture or ability, people generally respond to a person who listens carefully and adapts to their specific needs. I treat everyone as a unique individual and want everyone to feel as if they belong. I also love to include and celebrate different cultures, languages, and abilities in the people I work with. In this role, I am also cognizant that each student will have different levels of knowledge on the technology they will be using as distance learners. To the best of my ability, I will take keep all cultural differences in mind when developing new materials."
