To make microlearning successful in your organization you must first understand what it can and can’t do. Learning Strategist, Consultant and Author Dr. Robyn DeFelice explains how to think about microlearning as part of your overall training goals and not just a way to deliver training.  

Show notes:
In this interview, Robyn DeFelice stresses how and when to successfully use microlearning and makes these key points.

  • Microlearning is much more than creating short-form training. If the only thinking behind the learning is to make it short, the training may miss the mark.
  • As a method for training, microlearning can help you achieve performance goals, but it is not a replacement for all other learning formats and approaches. It often works best as a complement to a larger training program.  
  • To determine when and how to use microlearning, start with the purpose and potential of the training.  Are you seeking to change behavior? Ask yourself why you want to use microlearning and what you hope to get out of it.
