I am sure I once saw a word that meant something like ‘teaching while walking’ or ‘walking while learning’.  I thought it started with ped- or maybe ended with -ambulate but I cannot seem to come up with the right combination.  Any ideas out there?

Could it be peripatetic?
"1. Walking about or from place to place; traveling on foot. 2. Peripatetic Of or relating to the philosophy or teaching methods of Aristotle, who conducted discussions while walking about in the Lyceum of ancient Athens."

In Dutch it is used in a wider sense than described in 2 above. Not sure about English, though.
