The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an e-mentors' workload reduction system. The system aimed notonly to support e-mentors but also to enhance learners'self-regulation in asynchronous distributed e-learning courses. A series of studies have produced four major results ; creation of learners'self-regulation scale with four factors and 40 items, categorizationof expert mentors'strategies, dropout triggeringevents classified in three levels and automated mentors' action plan generation system in pre-course planning phase of self-regulated learning cycle. The entire functions of the system were developed based on these results and tested in two courses. Eventually, e-mentors experienced their workload reductionwith the system as projected.
