Detecting And Bridging Inferential Distance For Learners
Roughly: How to notice when someone has more levels of expertise than you do in some area and then effectively and ethically acquire their skills/wisdom/knowledge.
Don't forget the problem from the other side, too: how to detect and bridge inferential distence for knowledge-havers, i.e., how to find the knowledge-gap and convey the information to them. (That was actually the long-delayed article I'm working on, given my success in teaching others and my difficulty in getting others to convey knowledge to me when the roles are reversed.)
EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't read the discussion before saying that.
(The use of the term "knowledge haver" rather than "teacher" was deliberate.)
For reference, I responded here to put the useful conversation in the right part of the tree.
