Great point!
Why scientists need to be better at #datavisualization: The scientific literature is riddled with bad charts and graphs, leading to misunderstanding and worse. Avoiding design missteps can improve understanding of research. https://t.co/5035YJ3ATH

The majority of higher education faculty have no preparation for the work of teaching. And most elite universities, even ones paying lip service to teaching and learning, have no intention of taking necessary steps to change this.
Please quote this tweet with a thing that everyone in your field knows and nobody in your industry talks about because it would lead to general chaos.

We say we believe in science and then choose to ignore it when we teach. Tsk. Tsk.
We can now safely say that instructional design, especially in Higher Education, is run largely by Flat Earthers who read nothing... truly depressing report
