    EdNA Description: There has been a lot of buzz in the E-learning industry about mentored learning. More than 66% of E-learning companies say they offer it.

    EdNA Description: An on-line community is more than a group of people who exchange information and ideas. It is a group with shared interests , common goals and objectives , behaviors , and ways of thinking that are agreed upon by all of its members. There is much literature about electronic communities , and this brief overview barely touches the surface of a very complex and rich topic. This article discusses the nature of an electronic community, potential educational benefits , and suggestions for building an on-line community.
