In 2013, I wrote a book about educational myths.
I *didn't* include learning styles. Why?
Because even in 2013, so much research had already been published showing they were bunk. Didn't feel worth me going over it all again.
It's now 2023. What's in today's Financial Times?
@davecormier Learning styles is the zombie in education that just won’t die. There is no evidence to support it. It’s been discredited for decades but people just won’t let it go. Happy to provide studies when back at my desk. This one riles me greatly. Like a number if other leaning myths.
@drlauramackay @SJDJ@SFU@SFUteachlearn Thanks for the shout out! We keep adding more and more each year. #learningspaces is long term pedagogy work. Some of these spaces take years to complete. You are always welcome to a tour here at #mcgill next time you are in town. :-)
Holy crap - are you guys paying attention to how crazy this is?!

When was the last time any adult actually did long division by hand? We say kids shouldn’t use calculators and need to learn the proper way. Then we never do it again. #AI pushes a rethink. #LearningImpact23
Last one from @gcouros “no one has ever change their life because they saw an amazing pie chart”. The power of stories. Love it. #LearningImpact23 (apologies to all the PowerBI lovers)
@polarisdotca @meganbarkerase@McGillTLS@mcgillu There is also a lot of active learning going on in large classes not in ALCs. Lots of polling, groupwork, two stage exams, etc.
@polarisdotca @meganbarkerase@McGillTLS@mcgillu Most definitely. We have many different active learning classrooms. You can see many of our recent renovated spaces on our website. Happy to chat more about our work. https://t.co/XjzN1RVyJb
