Carrie Brown-Smith explores the importance of the creative process on the knowledge gap between creators and consumers of content:

There’s pedagogical evidence that creating is an important element of knowledge development: People who interact with content are forced to think more critically about it. This is why graduate level courses are taught seminar style rather than in lectures, for example. Anybody who has struggled to explain their random thoughts in a blog post like this one knows how much the process of writing for an audience, even a small one, shapes and deepens our understanding of the topic at hand.
