The current issue of the CIT WebCT Bulletin features the E-mentoring Program in Biomolecular Sciences that got underway at Elizabeth City State University this semester.  This program has been developed within CELL, the collaborative electronic learning laboratory that is one of PMABS' most important initiatives.   The article focuses on the CELL researchers' innovative application of WebCT instructional technology to real-world mentoring across distances.

Here's the article's lead: "Can you imagine more than 60 discussion forums in a WebCT course?  Can you imagine wanting to create more than 60 discussion forums in a WebCT course? Emily Brassell and Victoria Kindon, graduate students at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS), have imagined and created these forums as part of an electronic mentoring pilot project of the Collaborative Electronic Learning Lab (CELL).  CELL is part of a larger grant-funded project at UNC-CH, Partnership for Minority Advancement in Biomolecular Sciences (PMABS), which collaborates with historically minority universities (HMUs) to advance underrepresented students in science careers."
