Facilitated Discussion: Microlearning

As originally presented at the 2018 Learning Solutions Conference & Expo, in this webinar, Diane Elkins of Artisan E-Learning and E-Learning Uncovered discusses a case study of 30 microlessons built in 30 days.

Many learners want shorter nuggest of content.  It can be challenging, however, to fit everything they need to do into five-to seven-minute chunks.  In this recorded session, you’ll walk through a case study of 30 microlessons in 30-days and learn how to minimize formal learning, allowing learners a chance to try techniques immediately. Next, put this new knowledge into practice with Diane’s worksheet: “How to Design a Microlesson.”  As a group we will discuss the recorded lecture and brainstorm ideas of how microlessons can be used at the university.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to focus your microlearning designs on practice and application
• How to pick a narrow, targeted topic that learners can explore in a short period of time
• How to incorporate teaching points throughout an interaction, rather than use the “teach then quiz” model
