Andrew Jacobs looks into the research behind an article claiming "most people want Instructor Led Training (ILT) at work" and finds shoddy and ill-considered research. In one case, "the source was easy enough to find but it was a single source which looked at the preferences of 336 Greek university students during the COVID-19 pandemic." In another case, a stat quoted in a Forbes article came from "a professional body made up of people with instructor led training (ILT) as part of their core offer." As he says, "we must be better in L&D." It's super-easy to find small scale studies or thinly veiled opinion pieces that support a certain point of view. But it's not exactly ethical.
