Un dernier chapitre novateur traite de la manière dont les officiers peuvent mettre à profit les connaissances qu’ils ont acquises par leurs expériences professionnelles dans le contexte universitaire. Des exemples concrets — à l’usage particulier des militaires — sont présentés tout au long du texte pour guider la lectrice et le lecteur de manière pratique et pertinente.Cette édition révisée comprend de nouveaux exemples provenant d’une plus grande variété de sources. Elle prend en compte l’évolution récente des technologies de communication et reflète les nouvelles avancées dans les domaines de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage.Cet ouvrage, le seul guide exhaustif de rédaction à l’usage du personnel militaire, est un ajout incontournable à la bibliothèque de tout officier et officière militaire, où qu’il se trouve et quel que soit son rang.Ce livre est publié en français.

The Rise and Fall of International Education Exchange: A Resurrection in Retrospect
by Teresa Brawner BevisThis book tells the story of America’s legendary rise in the field of international education exchange, its recent stumble during the pandemic era, and its current resurrection. America brings to its shores more foreign students than any other country, and their presence is the most critical indicator of its exceptional quality of scholarship. Achieving this level of distinction has required public, private, and civic organizations, in league with generations of inspired individuals. Recently there were indications of a fall, mostly attributed to the pandemic, but also to a host of volatile social and geopolitical issues. Unchanged, however, have been the overarching goals of intercultural understanding and world peace. As the field resurrects, some worry that deeper degeneration may still be looming. Others foresee a bright future and predict an aggressive new rise in the field of international education exchange.
