Microlearning is more than just a tool – more than just an initiative. Like any useful method it has principles. While an organisation may have the need and the ambition to transform their workplace digital learning, the tools and solutions are not always immediately viable.

The principles of microlearning

But good principles, just like good manners, cost nothing!

There are many ways to apply the principles of microlearning to traditional eLearning while you wait for the resources to invest in new tools. And there can be many benefits to this too.

How often do you think a piece of learning truly necessitates 45 minutes of continuous, uninterrupted reading? It is only really necessary in rare cases, but for many companies it is the default approach.

Adapting to the new normal is hard, but it doesn’t need to happen all at once. Here are some top tips on rethinking your traditional content, such as SCORM courses, using the principles of microlearning; think of them as baby steps towards your ultimate goal of a finely tuned microlearning approach!
