“…22,23 The impact of the online format and subsequent lack of face-to-face contact had mixed responses from participants, which demonstrates the difficulty of designing online programs that suits all learning styles. 24 In a previous study of the importance of face-to-face contact for online mentoring programs, the evaluation of a rural public health workforce development program found having at least one face-toface meeting with mentors was important before participating in online discussions. 20 The integration of face-to-face opportunities has now been included in the revised PHAIWA program.…”

“…22,25 As e-mentoring is a relatively new concept, it is important to clarify for participants the difference between online and traditional mentoring modalities at the start of the program. 24 Examining the benefit of increased face-to-face contact, and the impact and practicality of individually tailoring online programs based on learning styles may overcome issues associated with program disengagement and withdrawal. These high rates of withdrawal, and the lack of detailed explanations from participants regarding this, are noted as a major limitation of the study.…”

Issue addressed Despite being viewed as a core competency for public health professionals, public health advocacy lacks a prominent place in the public health literature and receives minimal coverage in university curricula. The Public Health Advocacy Institute of Western Australia (PHAIWA) sought to fill this gap by establishing an online e-mentoring program for public health professionals to gain knowledge through skill-based activities and engaging in a mentoring relationship with an experienced public health advocate. This study is a qualitative evaluation of the online e-mentoring program. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with program participants at the conclusion of the 12-month program to examine program benefits and determine the perceived contribution of individual program components to overall advocacy outcomes. Results Increased mentee knowledge, skills, level of confidence and experience, and expanded public health networks were reported. Outcomes were dependent on participants' level of commitment, time and location barriers, mentoring relationship quality, adaptability to the online format and the relevance of activities for application to participants' workplace context. Program facilitators had an important role through the provision of timely feedback and maintaining contact with participants. Conclusion An online program that combines public health advocacy content via skill-based activities with mentoring from an experienced public health advocate is a potential strategy to build advocacy capacity in the public health workforce. So what? Integrating advocacy as a core component of professional development programs will help counteract current issues surrounding hesitancy by public health professionals to proactively engage in advocacy, and ensure that high quality, innovative and effective advocacy leadership continues in the Australian public health workforce.

Entrepreneurship has been regarded as a new science in the promotion of economic development, which has led to rapid development in entrepreneurship education. The growing number of students enrolled in entrepreneurship programs creates unprecedented challenges on educators. Although multiple teaching and learning activities are adopted in entrepreneurship education, these are mainly carried out using traditional classroom lectures, case studies and group discussions. Nowadays, information & communication technology (ICT) is used to enhance the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and competency training. PowToon is a web-based ICT tool that hat allows teachers and students to quickly and easily create animated presentations. Using quasi-experimental design and qualitative method, this study is to examine whether PowToon is an effective tool for business plan presentation. The study find that the animated presentations attracted more investment than the groups that did not prepare animated videos. It reflects that developed videos which helps entrepreneurial team to better deliver their business ideas to investors in a well-thought out way. In addition, the results of the study show that individuals who generate a business idea did not necessarily significantly influence their investment decisions. Our findings challenge the concept on self-biases evaluations of the economic potential of their own business ideas. Finally, the students were very willing to adopt new ways of delivering their business ideas. create opportunities for governments to improve efficiency and strengthen their management and operations [18]. Many studies have confirmed that ICT increases procedural efficiency, customer service quality and reduces costs as well as positively influencing corporate performance, such as productivity, profit, market value and market share [12,19].ICT also could benefit teachers, promote learning and improve learning outcomes, particular at the elementary and high school levels [13]. Although higher education is where new knowledge is supposed to be created and acquired, it rarely is successfully applied to teaching activities [20]. Furthermore, higher education classes are more likely than elementary or high school classes to be large, which suggests relatively lower quality teacher-student interaction and relatively more common teacher-centered learning.The common course formats and key features of business courses include business plan (BP) development and pitch competitions [6]. BPs usually are employed to raise capital and plan for future developments. Recently, the idea of "crowdfunding" has rapidly spread around the world. The idea is to give individual investors opportunities to apply a relatively small amount of capital to fund new or expanding businesses [21]. If you were to ask investors whether the crowdfunding platform or the fundraising team was more important, many of them would tell you that the key is to display a video [22].PowToon is a cloud-based ICT tool that hat allows teachers and...

“…As Markus (1994) comments, "It is not the media, per se that determine communication patterns, but rather the social processes surrounding media use" (p. 502). In their study, Quintana and Zambrano (2014) demonstrated that it is possible to carry out a process of asynchronous communication that generates emotional comfort and closeness, which are elements of a F2F relationship. Thus, we suggest that those with well-established relationships may view written, online communication as a viable alternative to F2F interactions.…”

Abstract:With the growth of technology and greater use of virtual teams, organizations have increasingly begun to use ementoring for socializing, training, and developing individual employees via technology. Despite the growing importance of e-mentoring, relatively little research has examined its process or effectiveness. Therefore, we: 1) provide a framework for understanding the e-mentoring process, 2) review the e-mentoring literature, and 3) present hypotheses to generate additional research on e-mentoring. As technology develops, the use of e-mentoring and, thus, the need to better understand it will grow.
