I would probably drop the word 'information' from this account, but the article by Tyler Kleeberger cited by Olga Ioannou in this post nonetheless makes an important distinction between the idea of 'consuming' learning versus 'embodying' learning. I have said before that the outcome of an education is a person; this is the embodiment of learning. To me, this means something very specific: that a person's neural network is shaped and formed as a result of learning. A wider view would include other aspects of embodiment (and I have no problem with this, until and unless we start ascribing magical powers to parts of the body).
