Summary: Rambling academic report
Comment: I find this book quite disappointing. Bought it based on the very positive six other reviews on this web site because I was looking for tips on how to do my very urgent e-learning portal project then.

The authors ramble a lot on how people in an online community interact with one another. The findings and recommendations were simply not clear or useful in a practical sense.

A similar book by Amy Jo Kim called "Community Building on the Web: Secret Strategies for Successful Online Communities" was much more useful to me.

Rating: 5
Summary: The Best Primer I've Read So Far
Comment: Palloff and Pratt do an exemplary job at presenting the theoretical as well as practical aspects of building an online learning community. Using the constructivist approach as a foundation, the authors discuss step-by-step how to create an online environment that supports collaboration, dialogue, reflection, and transformational learning. The examples of student and facilitator coversations as well as sample syllibi helped me to visualize the concepts that were presented. Thanks to this book, I have a much better understanding of where to begin. I recommend this book for anyone involved in online learning, especially facilitators, instructional designers, administrators, and learners!

Rating: 5
Summary: It applies to virtual communities of practice
Comment: The material in this book can be applied to increase the productivity of virtual communities of practice. It is a book I recommend to those who make a living in the world of knowledge management.
