Knowledge Networks - Mapping and Measuring Knowledge Creation and Re-Use

Knowledge Networks - Mapping and Measuring Knowledge Creation and Re-Use (participio). This excellent exploration of knowledge networks (and the exchange of knowledge within those networks) makes me wonder why more work hasn't been done to explore network concepts in more formal learning environments. Obviously, if a course is heavily lecture based, not much formal networking happens...but if learners are involved in group work, it would be interesting to see how knowledge is transferred from learner to learner...and how it translates to a graphicical representation...i.e. is the teacher at the center of the network? Periphery?
