Learning Together: The Role of the Online Community in Army Professional Education

摘要

This monograph explores the online community and its new relationship to the Army educational system. Over the past six to seven years, online communities such as CompanyCommand.army.mil have established themselves as means of communication for the profession. These communities are now integrated into the structures of educational institutions such as West Point and the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. While they have thrived thus far, their integration may mean a greater reliance on their capabilities. This monograph briefly examines the ability of the online community to educate professionals.
