Harkness Table

So I found this interesting article about art at Philips Exeter Academy
http://www.exeter.edu/documents/Exeter_Bulletin/Art_harkness_sp07.pdf


At first, I didn't even know what a harkness table was... Below is a picture, just in case you didn't either.
I guess the whole purpose of a Harkness table would be for everyone to be more engaged in whatever activity, meeting, conversation, etc. is going on at this table. So what are your thoughts? Do you think a Harkness table can improve learning? Or is it more helpful to get up and moving about the world in order to learn? A combination of both?
