How much of today’s L&D practice is actually grounded in how people learn, and how much is hype and fluff?
In this DevLearn Unwrapped episode of Being Intrepid, Sam Herring talks with Clark Quinn, Executive Director at Quinnovation, about centering learning science in our work. Clark draws on decades of experience in cognitive science and corporate learning to unpack the critical concept of spaced learning and reactivation, why terms like “microlearning” and “learning in the flow” aren’t particularly helpful, and the promises and limits of AI.
What you’ll learn:
- How cognitive and learning science should guide learning design
- What spaced learning is and why it’s fundamental for effective design
- How microlearning can be used to reactivate learning over time
- Why Clark sees a future for AI-assisted learning beyond LLMs
