1) There's a kind of "hard" learning you're learning a fixed, structured way from a textbook.
2) There's a kind of "soft" learning which is transmission of knowledge, which happens a lot more face to face when you're working together.
3) Then there's a kind of research learning, where you're doing something new, usually with collaborators.
