And it is this point of preference that I maintain is missed in the discourse about learning styles. As any L&D professional worth their salt will know, there is no weight of evidence to support the widely disseminated notion that some people learn more effectively visually, while others learn more effectively verbally.

Is there a difference between learning and development? I ruminated over this question for a number of years as a Learning & Development professional, but without much progress.

The L&D community may be divided into two camps: (1) Those for whom the mere mention of learning styles makes their blood boil; and (2) Those who are inexplicably unaware of the hullabaloo and are thus oblivious to the aforementioned boiling of blood.
