I wonder why we use the word knowledge so much when what I think is meant is information. To me there is a huge difference between information, which is raw material and knowledge, which I see as a finished product. Our students have access to information and need to use that information to make knowledge. They have vast amounts of information, but do not have vast amounts of knowledge.
