Abstract

E-mentoring is a relatively new and under-researched field, particularly from a European perspective. The paper presents an evaluation of the process of building and managing E-mentoring systems. A case study illustrates the importance of combining principles of social interaction with those of human–computer interaction to create and maintain an effective online mentoring community. The systems employed a range of resources and communication media not often included in E-mentoring schemes. Additionally, the paper describes a model of psychological profiling and computerised matching for pairing participants.
