How to Design Microlearning Experiences
•
1 like•575 views
The document discusses microlearning and how to design effective microlearning experiences. It defines microlearning as learning activities that are short in duration and focused on a narrow topic. Microlearning aims to extend time on task by utilizing brief learning opportunities. Key aspects of microlearning include brevity, granularity, and variety. The document recommends minimizing individual microlearning activities and aggregating outcomes to shape more complex learning experiences. It also discusses using tracking and analytics to orchestrate microlearning activities and provide feedback.

- 10. @phish108 Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Generally, the term "microlearning" refers to micro-perspectives in the context of learning, education and training. More frequently, the term is used in the domain of e-learning and related fields in the sense of a new paradigmatic perspective on learning processes in mediated environments. wikipedia.org
- 11. @phish108 It’s easy to assume that microlearning simply refers to bite-sized training assets. But microlearning means more than just small. Microlearning is not only compact—it’s also focused, offering just the right amount of information necessary to help a learner achieve a specific, actionable objective. This makes microlearning in business contexts especially valuable. https://www.allencomm.com/resource/what-is-microlearning/
- 12. @phish108 Microlearning (a.k.a. micro learning or micro-learning) is an emergent learning strategy known for quickly closing skill and knowledge gaps. Microlearning has a few consistent features. Brevity: Microlearning events are short, though there is no defined duration. Granularity: Due to their brevity and purpose, microlearning focuses on a narrow topic, concept or idea. Variety: Microlearning content can be in the form of a presentation, activity, game, discussion, video, quiz, book chapter, or any other format from which someone learns. http://theelearningcoach.com/elearning2-0/what-is-microlearning/

- 14. @phish108 Microlearning activities need to be easy to start and fast to complete. Microlearning relies on Minimal Independent Feedback Loops consisting of a Task, Action, and Feedback as well as their arrangement. http://lo-f.at/glahn/2017/06/micro-learning-in-the-workplace- and-how-to-avoid-getting-fooled-by-micro-instructionists.html Glahn (2013)
