Abstract :
Learners in university-level communication or technical communication web-enhanced classes should benefit from an online mentoring program. Mentors from several disciplines, geographic locations, and companies should be selected. An online mentoring program should provide learners with practical experience in communicating online with professionals, as well as provide learners with new perspectives and accurate information. Learners, mentors, and teachers should benefit from the program.
