Microlearning is a learning strategy that involves bite-sized learning nuggets (small and focused segments) designed to meet a specific learning outcome. To put it simply, the learning content is chunked to reduce learner’s cognitive overload making it easy for learners to absorb and recall.

An effective microlearning course:

• Provides deeper learning on a specific concept or a performance objective
• Is bite-sized, effectively chunked and easily digestible
• Designed for exact moment-of-need – Right information at right time
• Ideal for extended performance support providing a better mobile learning experience
• Focused on a single performance objective, concept or idea
• Is usually 4 to 5 minutes in length, or shorter

My note:
Adobe is trying to reshape an old theory: chunking

by calling it “microlearning”?
