4.0 out of 5 stars Making the case for collaborative learning in business, August 7, 2001

By	"jlandrow" (Fulton, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

The Collaborative Learning Guidebook is a useful resource because it takes this method of learning into the business context. I have read a lot about collaborative learning in the classroom, but Digenti provides a way for businesses to profit from the same approaches. I found the boundary-spanning skills outlined in the book a useful approach to understanding what it takes to be successful in collaborating for learning. I would have liked a more expanded chapter of case studies. Overall, I would recommend the book for those who think that collaborative learning could benefit their training and learning programs
