Real-Time Microlearning Courses

Microtraining delivers short bursts of content for learners to study at their convenience. Content can take many forms, from text to full-blown interactive multimedia, but should always be short.

What Are The Benefits Of Microlearning?

1. It’s Faster To Deliver

Fewer things to write means shorter course delivery times. With microlearning, you can build a course with dozens of units in an hour. This lets you respond faster to changing business goals and new training demands.

2. It’s More Affordable

A microlearning course is also much cheaper to produce. It requires fewer resources and needs fewer instructors. You don’t even need any special “microlearning tools” to create your content; a regular LMS content editor will do – though, of course, a specialized microlearning-based platform like IMPRO will make the process much easier.

3. It’s Flexible

Microlearning courses can cover any subject that regular eLearning courses can; just in a bite-sized way. You can create courses that give a broad overview of a subject or even create ones for complex topics.

4. Learners Find It More Engaging

Microtraining is the most engaging training delivery method available. The microlearning experience is similar to checking your favorite social app on your smartphone, compared to the “serious study” feel of regular training.

5. It Boosts Knowledge Retention

According to microlearning research, when you study something repeatedly and revisit it when you are close to forgetting it, you retain it much better. Such repeated study fits nicely with microlearning units since they are small, self-contained, and easy to return to.

6. It Gives Learners More Freedom

Regular online training that uses text-heavy courses is not ideal for studying in short stints. Microlearning, on the other hand, lets your learners enjoy casual learning whenever they have some spare time. Plus, since microtraining courses are small, they’re also easy to download and take with you when offline.

Important Microlearning Features

Microlearning is not all about the smaller size of training modules, or about being compact. There is more to it. Here are a few features of microlearning that make it an ideal training strategy for employees.
1. Helps Learners Achieve One Learning Objective At A Time
2. Provides Specific And Targeted Information
3. Addresses Short Attention Spans
4. Is Accessible On All Mobile Devices
5. Comes In Various Formats
6. Can Be Used At Different Stages Of The Learning Lifecycle
7. Microlearning Modules Can Be Standalone, Or Part Of A Larger Repository Of Learning Assets On A Topic/Subject

Effective Microlearning Experiences

Microlearning nuggets can be standalone, without the need to access any other training modules to understand the topic. Or, they can support the usual training, adding interaction to the otherwise one-way communication.

Short duration, targeted information, any device access, performance support, and fluidity to fit anywhere in the learning cycle – these features of microlearning make it a great corporate training solution for employees. Microlearning also helps flip the forgetting curve to the retention curve.
