Lesson. It's not a "learning", it's a lesson. Stop inventing nouns we don't need.
(I know, the horse has bolted long ago, no pointing harrassing this stable door. I will blame too many choccy biscuits after lunch...)

Initially, these professors were all immigrants from India, but the usage spread during my years in grad school. I wonder if this is evidence of a cultural shift at Microsoft caused by hiring so many H1Bs or even influence from their tone-deaf CEO.
