In this day and age who doesn’t want the world at their fingertips?<\/p>\n

We all do and we just about have it with the popularity of Smartphones and free Wi-Fi practically everywhere. You can learn anything from just about anywhere.<\/p>\n

Microlearning ties well into this.<\/p>\n

Microlearning is an eLearning tool revolving around bite-sized content geared toward meeting very specific goals. For example, instead of watching a 5-hour course on car mechanics, microlearning<\/a> consists of shorter videos walking the learner through tasks like changing a tire, changing oil, etc …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a win-win because the learner feels like they’re accomplishing something instead of just passively learning. In addition, the course developer will see more engagement with their course.<\/p>\n

Microlearning shifts the focus from sequential course material to an experience where the learner can guide their own path based on their specific goals.<\/p>\n

Microlearning utilizing mobile devices reinforces the learning of bits and increases material retention.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in creating micro-courses, then the best way to get started is by reviewing what’s available in the microlearning platforms market. See what the top learning management or LMS platforms can do and make the best selection for your needs. If you’re not yet sure what the term ‘learning management system’ means, then read what is an LMS<\/a> to get up-to-date first.<\/p>\n

While most of these platforms are geared for corporate eLearning you can model off the features and still incorporate much of this into any type of online course.<\/p>\n
