Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mentoring has always been one of higher education's most powerful forces--yet it has often been informal, uneven, and inaccessible to the students who need it most. As learning increasingly moves online and institutions serve more diverse and geographically dispersed students, the traditional model of mentoring built on proximity and chance encounters is no longer enough. Beyond the Campus: The Power of E-Mentoring in Modern Higher Education explores how mentoring can be intentionally redesigned for the digital age. Drawing on research, real-world programs, and practical institutional strategies, the book shows how e-mentoring can expand access to guidance, belonging, and professional networks for learners navigating complex educational pathways. Inside the book, readers will discover - What e-mentoring is and why it has become essential in today's digitally connected educational landscape - The principles and benefits of effective e-mentoring, grounded in current research and real-world examples - Practical strategies for designing and sustaining mentoring programs, including mentor-mentee matching, inclusive mentoring practices, and program evaluation - Case studies and vignettes that illustrate how successful e-mentoring initiatives transform student experiences - Ready-to-use resources and tools, including training materials, matching guides, and program design templates At a time when colleges are rethinking how learning and support happen, this book argues that mentoring should no longer be treated as a fortunate accident of campus life--but as essential infrastructure for higher education.
