Finding arguments to criticize on LinkedIn is like shooting fish in a barrel (except maybe that the fish on LinkedIn want to be shot; any exposure is good exposure). Still I can be a little bit sympathetic with the criticism as presented here, because it is (a) one we've been hearing for the last 20 years, and (b) points to a real problem, but one that is outside the means of edtech or instructional design to correct. As Apostolos Koutropoulos says at one point, "You know what hasn't changed? The operating environment we work in. Organizations want click-and-submit kind of eLearning - for better or for worse. This is mostly for compliance." I mean, for the most part taking 'courses' doesn't really make sense any more, especially in a work context. But organizations aren't clamouring for a better way to deploy learning (unless it's to train AI models... but I digress). That's a wider problem, and not solved simply by pointing to the 'right' way to do it.
