learning definitions

Learning is........ well, that's hard to say.  We are nearing the end of our Learning Theories course and it is interesting to see how my entries have changed, or not in some cases, since the beginning of the summer.  But, learning is, in my opinion, difficult to summarize.  Is it simply new knowledge that is taken into a learner's mind, or is it that with tweaking existing knowlege, or is it something else entirely.  Well, not to step on anyone's toes, but I feel that the better question to answer this week is "how can a teacher best affectuate learning".
