learning mode

Student practice configuration

Learning mode is a state of active receptivity to new information or skills, often invoked to signal openness or humility: I'm in learning mode here—walk me through it.

The phrase suggests temporary suspension of expertise or opinion while absorbing unfamiliar material.

In software and AI contexts, learning mode may describe a system actively gathering data to improve its performance.
