I was disappointed when I read this paper, not merely because of the generally weak writing, the glaring logical error in the first paragraph, or the use of references for no good reason (such as the citation to support the assertion that "information and communications technologies are re-shaping our culture in far-reaching ways") but because the topic is of sufficient importance and even insight to merit a much more serious and far-reaching enquiry. Contra Putnam (who is cited approvingly in this article) the online mentoring provides the opportunity to extend and enhance (what is euphemistically called) social capital. Still, you'll get some description of tele-mentoring projects, so it's not all a loss.
