It's like the Harvard Business School has discovered constructivism (for better or worse). "The major shift theoretically is moving from a language of transfer, of taking fully formed knowledge and passing it from one person's head to another, and instead talking about co-creation and building it together." All very good, but if you're co-creating, you're still doing knowledge transfer. Learning is ultimately personal; each individual, through participation, grows (not 'builds') their own understanding. And from my perspective, this concept of 'vicarious learning' is simply a way to wrap traditional knowledge transfer in the language of constructivism, to little useful effect.
