In this episode, I chat a bit about what I think is an unnecessary separation of theory and practice in L&D, including how that separation has impacted me as a PhD student in instructional design and technology and also as an instructional design and L&D leader in the field.

I also suggest following or consuming content by some amazing folks who are constantly encouraging evidence-informed, research-informed, and data-driven practice:

Data-Driven Learning Resources from Lori Niles-Hofmann
Evidence-Informed Learning Design by Mirjam Neelen and Paul A. Kirschner
Eamonn Powers
