Please correct me if I'm wrong. Knowledge and learning can not be merged since they are intrinsically linked, learning is a process and knowledge the result of this process, regardless how either of them are understood... Another topic is how one understand that process and how this result is represented, if as an individual or social process, if as a construction or as transmission, if as an isolated artifact or distributed among people/connections/nodes... regardless of that, learning continue being a process and knowledge continue being the result (residual or direct) of it... isn't it?
