words - Definition of the term "Talmud" in the phrase "Talmud Torah"


What is the definition of the word "Talmud" used by Chazal in the expression talmud Torah?


Does it mean learning Torah, or teaching Torah?



I seem to remember this discussed in an article (perhaps on the Seforim Blog) which presented various views of the Rishonim on the topic.


Accepted answer to anyone who can either find the article, or clear proof from Rishonim on the matter.
