[Digital-Mentor] digital mentor role - what is it?

[Mike Amos-Simpson]

cheers Dave - yep I agree with you - good to get thinking what all those
different approaches will be though and then try and pick out common themes
so that it can be presented as a project/programme.

To get the ball rolling - in terms of looking for existing good practice you
can split the 'digital' and the 'mentor' - so there will be examples of good
digital learning programmes/approaches, and also examples of good methods
for mentoring. If people know of examples of these that are particularly
effective for certain audiences/target groups that would be useful.

Failing that if we just have ideas & thoughts about what those different
approaches could be and who they would work well with that would be good
too.
