Latest Research Report

In the winter of 2023, Learning Science commissioned a study to evaluate the economy’s impact on learning professionals and to pinpoint the education practices that delivered the most positive business outcomes. To this end, researchers conducted an online survey of 445 full-time U.S. employees involved in delivering workplace education. Here's some of what we uncovered:

33% of respondents saw their team’s budget reduced; 15% lost team members due to a reduction in force.
12% of learning professionals feel they’re capable of making a bigger impact, but lack the knowledge and skills to do so.
19% more likely to exceed business goals with a dedicated executive sponsor.

Whether your organization educates one audience (e.g., employees) or multiple audiences (e.g., employees, customers, and partners), one thing is certain: your education initiatives need to drive measurable results. Download the 2023 report and find out how to structure your organizational education initiatives to close employee, customer, and partner skills gaps—and thrive in an uncertain economy.

Research Currently Underway

Our research initiatives strive to uncover how learning advances real-world outcomes in two key areas: customer education and workplace learning.

Nanolearning Durations

We are examining how carefully-developed nanolearning segments can drive enrollment and completion behaviors by identifying the optimal duration for those segments.

The Impact of Notifications

We are examining how platform-driven learner notifications can drive enrollment and completion behaviors and we are coupling our own research with evidence-based best practices in notification implementation.

Customer Journey with U of A

In partnership with the University of Alabama, we are conducting a study that identifies the ways in which learning can nudge customers to move along the customer journey.

Sales Performance with Cornell

In partnership with Cornell University, we are conducting a study that identifies the strength of the correlation between learning and sales performance.

Learning Science Weekly

Learning science is a multidisciplinary field that draws from decades of research and practice in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, education, computer science, and linguistics. But this rigorous field of study has remained largely inaccessible to education, L&D, and field enablement professionals. Until now.
