  In Roundtable Session: DDL Roundtable 2

Short Description

Effective mentoring is an integral component of the doctoral dissertation process. Many studies have explored the triadic symbiosis of faculty mentoring skills, responsibilities, and values within the dyadic mentor-protégé relationship. However, few studies have substantively analyzed faculty views of the essential e-mentors’ characteristics crucial for mentoring online doctoral dissertations. This presentation clarifies online mentoring functions and faculty roles as archetypal mentors and examines whether the essential characteristics perceived by faculty participants matches the archetypal model.
