 Many of us in the learning and performance field work hard to apply theory to practice. We strive for evidence-based strategies and
tactics for learning, that is learner centered and performance driven. From time to time, research is published that challenges our common held beliefs about learning and performance. It causes us to take notice and adjust our own models for program design and delivery. In this case, I'm referencing "Learning by Viewing versus
Learning by Doing: Evidence-Based Guidelines for Principled Learning Environments" by Ruth Colvin Clark and Richard E. Mayer, published in Performance Improvement, October 2008. To read the article and their findings, click here.
