'der Schüler' and 'der Lerner' both have to do with learning. 'der Schüler' usually means a person who attends a school. It can also be a person who learns from a master or within a particular tradition. 'der Lerner' is broader: it means someone who is actively learning something, for example in a course, alone at home, or with an app. The words can be confused because students are, of course, also learners. But 'Lerner' emphasizes the activity of learning, not necessarily school.
