8/29/2007 - SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- The Air Force now has a "virtual community" where individuals can go anytime to share information with their peers anywhere in the world.
Called "Knowledge Now," this community is a collaborative Web system that is accessible through the Air Force Portal and is designed to allow Airmen of all ranks, specialties and skill levels to communicate with each other on a variety of topics.
"The objective is to create an environment of people from across the Air Force where they can collaborate and share their expertise on a variety of subjects," said Randy Adkins, director of the Air Force Center of Excellence for Knowledge Management. These subjects are divided into databases and joint work spaces called Communities of Practice, or COPs. This capability has proven to be one of the system's more popular features, Mr. Adkins said.
