Challenges of this research What elements of face-to-face mentoring
are essential and realizable as an online tool.
Using ELLIMent in a PLE scenario. What makes a good mentor if everyone can be
your personal mentor? Can we build a system which connects you with
the right mentor?Can learning paths help to reflect on life long
learning skills? Analytics: How to detect support needs.

Research agenda for the next five years Applications - the reflection corner: Enabling every learner having
access to reflections on a topic of interest, to share own reflections, and to get feedback on them.
Reflection and perception:Reflective writing seems to be a tedious process. How can we make it more fun?The language of public reflections.
Theory - the relation between awareness and reflection:What is worth to reflect on? There are many things we can be aware of, but which are worth to reflect on?
Design: Design recipes, to foster reflection Methods: Evaluation of informal awareness and reflection systems. The role of feedback and skills: How important is the role of a
mentor? How much guidance is needed? Vision building: Towards an aware and reflective learner.
