We're back after a nice hibernation period. We're sure there's been plenty of Bad L&D since we've been slumbering, so feel free to send it our way and we'll do our best to put the world to rights! #learninganddevelopment

What say you @THRIVEwithus_ ? Poor form or charitable cause?

[Serena @SerenaGFersch]

@badlearning a fine eg. Pic 1. @THRIVEwithus_ put up inappropriate post using tragedy as an opportunity to market themselves Pic 2. I called them out, they took down the post, head of marketing sent me a pvt msg Pic 3. They put the post back up! 1/3

Hi @HowNowTeam thank you for the follow! Could you please respond to this tweet?

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Sorry @HowNowTeam there’s another one. This article refers to #learningstyles. That pesky stat that ‘65% of the population are visual learners’, which is not true. Could you fix that after #LT20UK too?

@learningfactor Can you please provide a link to the source of these claims?

[Gary Cookson @Gary_Cookson]

I’ve been asked if I want to spend £2,000 to have a one page feature in an HR magazine that would anoint my company as one of the top ten OD companies in the UK. If I don’t pay it, we are not in the top ten. Decisions, decisions...

This is @CornerstoneInc @CSODEMEA using ideas like Gen Z and ‘digital natives’ to sell their products.

Hi @SHIFTelearning here is another one.

The goldfish attention span myth is referenced in this article and the cited source is a Time magazine article.

Hi @HowNowTeam have fun at #LT20UK! After the event could you please fix your article that claims millennials have an 8 second attention span? This stat isn’t correct, but it does get repeated quite often! Thanks.

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

@gdelestrange @Quinnovator Hi @gdelestrange and @CSODEMEA and @AdamCSOD and @CornerstoneInc would you like to respond?

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Thank you @eCreatorsLMS! 👏 👏 👏

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Hi @OReillyMedia Evangelos is correct, there is no evidence to support learning styles. We did a quick search of your site and also found this publication that also promotes learning styles https://t.co/96ufMvwhxw

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Hi @eCreatorsLMS we accidentally tagged the wrong twitter handle.

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Hey @ecreators! This old blog post would be fine without this advice about learning styles. In fact, 2 other articles on your site also don’t need to reference learning styles either (but they do). Time to make some updates? https://t.co/oAJx0hDhBd

Hi @SHIFTelearning you have an article on your blog promoting learning styles. It’s old, so why not remove or update it? https://t.co/6gfikboK1F

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Hi @EIDesignLearn do you plan on updating or removing this post about #learningstyles?

[Bad L&D @badlearning]

Learning styles? Really, @EIDesignLearn? This post is a few years old. Maybe it’s time to take it down?

Hi @CSODEMEA we have a few things to bring up about DNA (Digital Native Advancement) as it is involved with several myths and bad practices.
