There are a lot of companies offering apps and technology that promise to improve how businesses and individuals facilitate mentoring (e.g., Ellen,iMentor). Based on my limited research I have not come across\u00a0 a product that stands out significantly from the crowd. I think that they are still figuring out what value they really add. Is it simply in connecting mentors to mentees, and providing lots of options, a la dating apps? Is it about how they might help foster the relationship between mentor and mentee? Is it a just in time service or a committed relationship? Mobile seems like the perfect platform to meet most of what good mentoring demands. When wondering what evidence there is to back this view I came across the following case study regarding how mobile phones are helping to facilitate mentoring relationships for trainee teachers in the UK:\u00a0https:\/\/scholar.google.ca\/scholar?q=a+case+study+of+mobile+learning+in+teacher+training&amp;hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0&amp;as_vis=1&amp;oi=scholart#d=gs_qabs&amp;u=%23p%3Dxp5eOI09DnMJ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted by\u00a0derek doherty\u00a0on September 29, 2019 An area of mobile education that particularly interests me is the use of mobile technology to facilitate mentoring.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2020\/06\/01\/more-mentoring-using-mobile\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">More mentoring using mobile<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":65965,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobileeducation","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65965"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2093"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2094,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093\/revisions\/2094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
