In adult education, the trend so far is that people want to passively sit, perceive and tick off "done" and go. Not many are dedicated to participate, work on a project (either alone or as a team), do research and produce their own knowledge.

I therefore am sure that this participative "knowledge design" study will become increasingly important as it will help distinguish "consumers" and "creators" and I can imagine in say 15 years from now the job interview questions running about this topic and giving "participative" learning greater significance than it has nowadays.
