What does it mean to learn something?   Dictionary definition:  "to gain knowledge, comprehension, or mastery."

"To learn is an achievement, not just an activity or a process.  It does not make sense to say that a student or staff member 'learned, but did not 'understand.' Nor will it do, then, for teachers to say, 'I taught them, but they didn't learn."   --Wiggins and McTighe (2007)
