“…Such programs may provide low-cost interventions for delaying mortality among older adults with mild or moderate functional limitations. Additionally, older adults with functional limitations may be recruited to volunteer online (Cravens, 2003), although it is an empirical question as to whether the benefits derived from virtual volunteering are similar to those derived from traditional face-to-face types of volunteering.…”

Previous studies have demonstrated that functional limitations increase, and organizational volunteering decreases, the risk of mortality in later life. However, scant attention has been paid to investigating the joint effect of functional limitations and organizational volunteering on mortality. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that volunteering moderates the relation between functional limitations and risk of mortality. This prospective study used baseline survey data from a representative sample of 916 non-institutionalized adults 65 years old and older who lived in the continental United States. Data on mortality were extracted six years later from the National Death Index. Survival analyses revealed that functional limitations are associated with an increased risk of dying only among participants who never or almost never volunteered, suggesting that volunteering buffers the association between functional limitations and mortality. We conclude that although it may be more difficult for older adults with functional limitations to volunteer, they may receive important benefits from doing so.

“…With the development of technology, particularly the increased access to the Internet among all segments of society, e-mentoring (variously known as e-mail mentoring, online mentoring, telementoring, and virtual mentoring) has become more common in recent years (Cravens, 2002;Miller & Griffiths, 2005). Given the well-documented shortage of adults who are both capable of serving as traditional face-to-face mentors and willing to do so, e-mentoring is likely to continue to grow in the foreseeable future.…”

“…E-mentoring is the act of providing and receiving guidance and support through computer-mediated technology, such as e-mail, electronic chat, and message boards. With the development of technology, particularly the increased access to the Internet among all segments of society, e-mentoring has become more common in recent years [8,24]. Given the well-documented shortage of adults who are both capable of serving as traditional face-to-face (F2F) mentors and willing to do so, e-mentoring is likely to continue to grow in the foreseeable future [21].…”

Facebook is the most popular social networking site, with more than 500 million active members. It has brought new opportunities for the learning and career development of students that live with technology and networked communications. This study explores the design of an e-mentoring Facebook application intended to bring together students, faculty, and Information Technology (IT) professionals as mentors and mentees.
