This article synthesizes research on social capital, school outcomes, internet use, and volunteering to argue that e‐mentoring – which is commonly practiced over long distances – could become a powerful way to build greater cohesiveness in local communities. Realizing this potential will require a larger‐scale and more coordinated approach to research and program design, as well as a change in e‐mentoring researchers’ methods.

Constructivism is the theory that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas. The Constructivist (e.g. Dewey [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ; Montessori [ 3 ] ; Kolb [ 4 ] [ 5 ] ) learning process is experiential learning through real life experience to construct and conditionalize knowledge. The type of learning is problem based adaptive learning that challenges faulty schema, integrates new knowledge with existing knowledge, and allows for creation of original work or innovative procedures. The type of learner is self-directed, creative, and innovative. The purpose in education is to become creative and innovative through analysis, conceptualizations, and synthesis of prior experience to create new knowledge.

The version that follows below is the original (uncorrected) version). Yet another article, describing new forms of knowledge as probablistic , has crossed my desk today, and consequently it seems appropriate at this time to type a few words on the nature of distributed knowledge. It should go without saying that these are my own thoughts, and this discussion should not therefore be considered an authoritative reference on the subject.
