Description

What happens when you look at learning strategy through the lens of cognitive science instead of the latest buzzwords? 

In this DevLearn Unwrapped episode of Being Intrepid, Sam Herring sits down with Clark Quinn, Executive Director at Quinnovation, to explore how learning science, spaced learning, and reactivation should shape modern design. Clark shares his journey from early computer-based education and cognitive science doctoral research to a career advising organizations on how people really think, learn and work. 

You will hear thoughtful takes on industry buzzwords like microlearning and “learning in the flow,” as well as the hype around generative AI, plus practical guidance on where to start with better design. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• Why learning professionals must understand the fundamentals of learning science 
• What spaced learning is and how it works 
• How microlearning can be used to reactivate learning over time 
• Why Clark is cautious about the learning efficacy of large language models
