Effective advisement can help to address the disproportionately lower self-efficacy, identity, and sense of belonging experienced by Black students in computing degree programs. Black social media influencers who produce video log (vlog) commentary content on the YouTube platform were investigated to determine the influence they have on improving computing identity for Black students. This exploratory study consists of three studies: first, a synthesis of vlog commentary college and career advisement videos, coding for the quality of advisement, usability, and user experience; second, an advisor effectiveness and user experience survey using a selected Black social media influencer who provides computing college and career advisement; and third, a user experience and interaction preference survey using a selected Black social media influencer. Findings suggest YouTube influencers could be effective, particularly for beginners in the computing field. Future studies intend to further explore Black computing advisement through social media over a long term and at varying levels of interaction.

黑人学生与计算机学院互动的探索和职业准备 Vlog 评论社交媒体影响者

有效的建议可以帮助解决黑人学生在计算机学位课程中所经历的不成比例地降低的自我效能感、身份认同和归属感。调查了在 YouTube 平台上制作视频日志 (vlog) 评论内容的黑人社交媒体影响者，以确定他们对改善黑人学生计算身份的影响。这项探索性研究包括三项研究：首先，综合视频博客评论学院和职业建议视频，编码建议质量、可用性和用户体验；其次，使用提供计算机学院和职业建议的选定黑人社交媒体影响者进行顾问有效性和用户体验调查；第三，使用选定的黑人社交媒体影响者进行的用户体验和交互偏好调查。调查结果表明 YouTube 影响者可能是有效的，特别是对于计算领域的初学者。未来的研究打算通过社交媒体长期和不同层次的互动进一步探索黑人计算建议。
