Through INFINIT it has been reported by TeleFalu how on-line IT mentoring is organised in India. Experts of the Indian program do not have a low opinion of the personal attendence in education or knowledge transmission. However, the core problem is that in India there are a very few skilled experts who can perform also a valuable teaching. Consequently they are drafting alternatives that substitute for the personal presence. For example it might be replaced by on-line video connection, miniature films shot beforehand, chat, VoIP phone, etc. By project leaders it is evident that personal education and mentor network are far more effective than the on-line associate, after all on-line mentoring might be an operating stop-gap arrangement. The system even now going through formation would work in pyramid arrangement, so that one prominent expert (might it be from the USA) would teach 2 to 3 mentees, and under them new students could be built who, becoming an expert themselves, could transmit knowledge in an ever widening circle.
