1) Microlearning involves teaching content in small, specific bursts tailored to a learner's immediate needs. It addresses short attention spans and aims to provide just-in-time learning without disrupting workflow.
2) Traditional elearning is often too lengthy, not available on-demand or everywhere. Microlearning is self-directed, mobile-friendly and can be accessed and applied in "micro moments" throughout the workday.
3) An ecosystem approach is needed for microlearning, including elements like gamification, social learning, analytics and predictive adaptive learning to create a holistic, continual learning experience that matches today's learning habits.
