106 — Evidence-based L&D
from The Mindtools L&D Podcast
Everyone and their uncle is a learner, but does this mean that everyone knows about learning? Our guest this week, Mirjam Neelen, thinks not. This week, she joins Ross G and Owen to talk about the evidence base that we should all be referring to when designing experiences.

The article that Owen referenced, on the need for evidence in surgery, was from The Guardian.

You can listen to the podcast at http://www.songbysongpodcast.com/. The song is on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug7DZG1F6bs.

The book that Ross referenced, The Surprising Truth About How We Learn, does not exist. It was meant as a comment on pop science titles but, if anyone wants to use this title, feel free.
