Abstract:
Despite the large lecture courses commonly found in colleges, the essence of learning is essentially a one-to-one dialogue between a tutor and learner. As such, the Internet has now made individual learning practical and cost effective to a degree never before possible. Cases on Online Tutoring, Mentoring, and Educational Services: Practices and Applications examines the rapidly developing sector of online educational services for individuals involved with e-tutoring and e-mentoring.
