About the system
Mentoring is traditionally undertaken face-to-face between the mentor and their students. Although there are considerable advantages to this approach, there are also certain drawbacks. For example, mentors are not always available, the question the student has may just require a quick reply and the student or Mentor may live or work some distance from the school or another appropriate meeting place.
The e-mentoring system should not be seen as a replacement for traditional mentoring, rather to compliment and extend it. It benefits from improving the flexibility of the mentoring scheme and further developing the student’s computer skills. e-mentoring shares many of the same characteristics as conventional face-to-face mentoring. However, although there are similarities, there are also important differences, not least – in the structures that need to be put in place if e-mentoring is to operate safely and securely.
