More Description
This is the first comprehensive book about the unconference movement. Author, blogger, and Library Journal Mover & Shaker Michelle Boule explains why traditional conferences and learning environments increasingly fail to meet the needs of professionals. She looks at the impact of "internet mob rule" on continuing education and training, and shows how an array of new solutions--including camps, unconferences, and peer learning strategies--are putting the power of knowledge back in the hands of those who need it most.
In addition to providing a step-by-step approach to planning a camp or unconference, Mob Rule Learning features numerous case studies, interviews, and examples of emerging education and training models for small and large organizations, businesses, and community groups.
