Abstract(s)
Initial and continuous support, such as mentoring (among peers), has been a strategy widely adopted
by different distance higher education institutions, namely in the European context, in order to support
new students in their academic integration, reduce isolation, facilitate collaboration and create a sense
of belonging to a community; thus, this support is provided by students at more advanced levels of
training.
Not being a new practice, it has evolved over time, inspiring various interpretations of its action and
implementation. Assuming to be a crucial factor for student success in the context of distance
education institutions, this subsystem of student support emerges as a central aspect in social and
cognitive presence (Garrison & Anderson, 2003) and in the creation of knowledge and ties in and on
the community.
It is in this sense that this presentation, based in a pilot e-mentoring project implemented in a
department of an european Open University, framed in the paradigm of Virtual Learning Communities
and within the framework of the Model of the Community of Inquiry (CoI), aims to present a set of
assumptions for the construction of an e-mentoring model adapted to this teaching-learning modality
and adapted to the students profile.
