Instructional design is useless

I checked the date of this short article very carefully before posting it, but it appears Nick Shackleton-Jones is quite serious. And I'm in non-ironic agreement with him here. Most instructional design "is basically just whimsy & ritual, with little or no evidential support," he writes, while that which does have evidential support "doesn't relate to learning, instead to peculiar instructional challenges such as recall tests." Instead, ask yourself "Why do you think, YouTube, Google & TikTok are entirely bereft of instructional design? If they really helped people learn, don't you think they would be popular?"
