Making Microlearning Work for Your Organization

Incorporating microlearning into an organization’s learning ecosystem is not always as successful as L&D professionals envision. Especially if the expectation is a change in performance. This is largely in part to seeing the word “microlearning” as just another learning product, not for all of its meanings – a concept for developing an individual’s aptitudes/skills, a method for building (or refining, augmenting, etc.) skills/behaviors over time by targeting facets of those skills/behaviors through repetition, and as a strategically designed campaign that includes (typically) multiple learning products to address those facets. But what does that look like?

This workshop focuses on application of concepts to real-world challenges attendees are facing by actively engaging the everyone in the how and why of the design process.

Through hands on activities, participants will build examples, so that they can then start developing a microlearning campaign . Worksheets, tools, and templates will be provided to support ideation and application. Peer collaboration and discussion will provide additional perspective and ideas on how microlearning can be used at whether at work for a client.

Participants will leave the session with a better sense of what is possible with microlearning for their organization or client, a pathway to getting started, and templates to help them get going!
