Further explanation: 学用相长--This phrase has been coined modeling on "教学相长", a Chinese idiom taken from the Analects of Confucius and translated into "Teaching and learning encourage each other"... Hence my translation.

See: http://bbs.exue.com/viewthread.php?tid=72849

知困,然后能自反也.知困,然后能自强也.故曰教学相长也. Knowing of one’s deficiency stimulates one into self-examination; the discovery of one’s confusion leads one to self-improving. Hence, teaching and learning encourage each other.
