- 22. ● It is a form of training/lesson delivered in purposefully small units ● No official time limitation, but on average, content should last between 3 - 6 minutes ● It is more engaging, as content is easier to digest which results in higher knowledge retention among learners ● Microlearning content are easier and quicker to produce What is Microlearning?
- 23. The forgetting curve: ● Theory was propounded by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus ● Information retention reduces exponentially after a couple of days ● Learners will forget an average of 90% of what they have learned within the first month ● People recall stronger memories for a longer period than a weaker ones ● Information is easier to recall when it’s built upon things you already know The Science of Microlearning?
- 24. ii TheScienceof Microlearning 1 3 2 4 The neural pathway becomes stronger whenever we revisit the information This ultimately helps knowledge stick over time When we learn something new, a neural pathway is created in the brain The neural pathway becomes stronger whenever we revisit the information Neural Pathways
- 25. Spaced Learning and Long Term Memory ● Spaced learning is a learning method where highly compact content is taught and then repeated over measured intervals ● When knowledge is reinforced, learners develop long term memories in the hippocampus ● Microlearning is a perfect tool for creating long term memories as reinforcement is achieved quickly The Science of Microlearning?
- 26. Develop the Instructional Strategy ● Understand the learner ● Know the big picture ● Begin with the end in mind ● Focus on the feeling ● Outline the general message ● Establish the outline Achieving Microlearning
- 27. Divide Your Lessons: ● The goal is to limit the amount of information that is being delivered at one time ● Lessons should not be longer than 10 mins ● Consider the smallest aspect of a lesson, say, the topics and start breaking down into smaller pieces ● The topic can be broken down into logical, five minutes pieces, each with its own objective Achieving Microlearning
- 28. Vary the Delivery Method: ● Having varying delivery methods makes microlearning much more interesting ● Delivery methods include: Videos, Quizzes, Infographics, Audios, texts, Multimedia interactives ● Assessment can come immediately after the short lessons ● This will help in quickly assessing the effectiveness of the delivery method Achieving Microlearning
- 29. Connect the Pieces: ● Determine which units fit together best for maximum student learning ● Skipping around from topic to topic is not the best way to apply microlearning Achieving Microlearning
