Suggestions for content include:
- Infographics - different ways of displaying data
- Video/audio files - different ways of displaying content (can also include screencasts here)
- Blog - encourage mentors to blog about their experiences?
- Glossary of terms - need to have a glossary associated with the page but it can be quite effective

- Photo gallery - photos from mentoring events, images always useful providing we have permission
- Case studies - examples of good mentoring experiences/practices
- Q&A - possibly linked to discussion fora
- Newsletters - copies of the ones you send out via email
- Interviews - again linked to case studies
