This violates what we know about our brains, in this case that our memory is limited. This is just bad design, and it’s so obvious how to ameliorate it. When you do, you can design solutions that meet real needs. The post Performance Support and Bad Design appeared first on Learnlets. And that’s what we want to do, no?

If I’m going to rail against myths in learning, it makes sense to be clear about what learning design without myths looks like. Let me lay out a little of what mythless learning design is, or should be. Instead, mythless design starts with focusing on performance. There are good bases for design.

Takeaway : Learning sticks best when it’s grounded in real-world practice, guided by feedback, and designed to empower learners to adapt and thrive. Takeaway: The brain remembers your daily habits—so a bit of sleep and movement today can boost brain connectivity for weeks! For too long, eLearning has been stuck in the past.

When ATD asked me to write the learning science book , I’d already had the intention of writing a Learning Experience Design (LXD) book. First, look at the three elements of LXD: learning, experience, and design. Design, too, was a subject of study. I’d also realized that it was going to be monumental undertaking.

What I also believe, buttressed by others, is that there haven’t been any results from neuroscience that are essential for learning science design. Neuroscience is cool, but its use in learning design tends to be to draw attention (read: marketing), not for any new outcomes. I feel similarly about the term brain-based.

That was inflated somewhat by multiple rounds of revision on the design document and overall concept. It’s strong for the eyes but weak for the brain.
