We’ll host discussions, book recs, polls, and check-ins.

[close] Learning science is a multidisciplinary field, drawing from decades of research and practice in areas like cognitive psychology, neuroscience, education, computer science, and linguistics; this rich history has left us with a body of evidence to support adult learning at scale. Unfortunately, the Learning & Development practice has historically been a matter of accumulated folk wisdom instead of being built on a foundation of meticulously researched evidence. The books we'll discuss in this group are meant to help bridge the gap between the empirical research and the L&D practice. If you're interested in the science of learning, please join this group!
