Micro learning can take many forms, from full text or interactive notes to short texts, images, videos, audio, speech, and music. Quizzes and tests are also popular forms of micro learning, as are games and game-based learning. The advantages of micro learning are numerous, including:
- Improved engagement: Micro learning is more fun and engaging for learners, leading to better participation and completion rates.
- Improved retention: Short, focused bursts of content are easier to retain and recall than longer, more complex content.
- Improved transfer to the job: Micro learning is designed to be directly applicable to the learner's job, leading to better performance and productivity.
- Faster development and deployment: Micro learning can be quickly developed and easily deployed in the workplace.
- Anytime, anywhere learning: Micro learning can happen everywhere at any time, as long as it is delivered on multiple devices.
As an L&D specialist, micro learning is an effective tool to boost corporate learning in your organization. By delivering short, engaging bursts of content, you can improve engagement, retention, transfer to the job, and behavioral change in the workplace.
