Chances are you’ve already experienced microlearning in your personal or professional life, through workplace training, language apps, or YouTube tutorials.
While microlearning is often simplified as short, bite size content, there’s much to uncover when it comes to its design and learning effectiveness.
In this OER, we’ll explore the current state of microlearning through a usability lens, including challenges with current microlearning design and how future designs may be more effective in achieving learning goals.
While working through the site, you’ll discover new perspectives and have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned.
