 Burke's "Web Theory" of Innovations
Burke is interested in the "innovators" more than the process of diffusion of their ideas or the products developed using their ideas, which is Rogers' primary interest.
Burke's historic "innovators" are often members of the scientific community of their day, often people who know as much as is available to be known in the time in which they live.
Burke, however, would probably caution that -- although authenticity and immediacy of experiential education models is important -- content, or the "knowledge base" (particularly of core-curriculum subjects such as math, science, language arts, and history), is also critically important.
