This book is really about effective teaching online and building online communities of practice,
By
This review is from: CompanyCommand: Unleashing the Power of the Army Profession (Paperback)
I first heard about this book in the Harvard Business Review under the topic of peer-to-peer leadership training. It is that and more. It describes a great method of building communities of practice online and how to effectively lead online discussion forums. I am a better online teacher because of the lessons from Ms. Dixon. These ideas are not just for Army leaders but can be applied to any group which is distributed but needs to share knowledge and stay connected. I eagerly await the second edition!
