In the most basic sense, mentoring means guiding. A knowledge network can be defined as social networks that allow knowledge to be transferred to anyone by means of communication. A knowledge network represents a large number of people, resources and relationships between them, to create the highest value, primarily to accumulate and use knowledge through the process of generating and transmitting knowledge. General structure of knowledge networks; it consists of three basic stages: gathering, organizing and disseminating knowledge. In this study, a knowledge network example for digital mentoring in the field of education was created. The purpose is to ensure communication between the student, the teacher and the guide (mentor), and to store the knowledge that is formed in a course, to enable the system to be recorded in a systematic way, to disseminate it according to the needs of the users and to update the knowledge. A dynamic website and content management system have been developed for the training knowledge network. In the construction of the website, HTML, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL as the database were preferred. The training knowledge network has a flexible structure to support web technologies. By making production, management and publication of knowledge within the framework of specific needs, it provides knowledge network for different problems, producing different and tailored solutions.
