Microlearning

« Back to Glossary Index

Microlearning refers to learning content that is presented in smaller units or shorter segments than traditional content. This allows students to learn at their own pace and with greater flexibility.

Microlearning is often in the form of a short mini-course, but it can also come as a YouTube video, a brief article, or an automated email series.

Microlearning could be used for:

  • A writer that wants to learn how to create a forward for his/her book
  • A video editor that wants to learn green screen basics
  • A costume jewelry maker that wants to learn how to set up an Etsy store
