Microlearning

A learning approach that delivers educational content in small, focused bursts typically lasting 3-5 minutes, designed to meet specific learning outcomes.

Microlearning is a modern learning methodology that breaks down complex topics into bite-sized, easily digestible modules. Unlike traditional training that can last hours, microlearning sessions are typically 3-5 minutes long, making them ideal for busy professionals. This approach leverages cognitive science principles, recognizing that shorter learning sessions improve retention and engagement. Microlearning is particularly effective for just-in-time learning, skill reinforcement, and mobile learning scenarios where learners need quick access to specific information.
