WritingInPairs or writing as a group is a good way to communicate. If Person A writes a document and Person B reads it, A gets to understand the topic very well, and B gets to understand it a bit -- probably imperfectly.

But if Persons A and B write the document together --- even if A starts as the expert and B the novice --- then understanding is transferred very effectively.

WritingInPairs is excellent for DispersedWorking -- use NetMeeting (or similar) to collaborate on a document.
