With the advent of computer networks, e-mentoring becomes feasible and indispensable to enlighten protégés. E-mentoring comes into play where conventional mentoring is unable to assist students, if they are unable to reach at specified location and time. This chapter elucidates concepts, challenges, impact, and evaluation of e-mentoring by referencing scholars. This chapter retains juxtaposition of traditional mentoring and e-mentoring, which is computer-mediated communication (CMC). It also explains technologies for e-mentoring like web-based and different programs that have been carried out in literature.
