Many of these millions are subject matter specialists whose knowledge encompasses a wide spectrum of expertise. What if “matches” could be made so that volunteers from among this group could communicate directly with K-12 students and teachers who are studying about these experts'specialties?

The answer to one overall research question was sought: to what extent …
