I'm interested in the source of the West Point study where students taught using new instructional methods were able to organize themselves and take a hill whereas those taught through traditional means were waiting for their commander to organize them.  Can anyone send more info to email or Google+ VanceStev ?  Thanks Vance

The students in this case weren't taught using 'new media,' they were taught using new approaches which emphasized initiative and proactive collaboration. The source for this which I heard in April 2011 was Col Casey Haskins (US Army) who was at the time director of military training at West Point. I shared notes from his session at the 2011 Intellectual Warrior's Conference at Fort Sill on:

I also reflected on the conference and lessons learned in a short podcast.
