If you’ve been paying attention, you will have seen that a number of my blog posts take down a variety of articles that are rife with malarkey. These are things like the attention span of a goldfish, learning styles, generations/digital natives, etc. There’s no evidence that adapting to styles helps.

Let me lay out a little of what mythless learning design is, or should be. Learning with myths manifests in many ways. Redundant development to accommodate learning styles, or generations. Shortened to be appropriate for millennials or the attention span of a goldfish.

A colleague regularly chides his alma mater for continuing to believe in learning styles. While learners do differ, there’s no evidence we should adapt learning to learning styles, let alone can we reliably identify them. This is only part of the broader problem. This, too, is a myth!
