"Many companies face significant challenges to keep their employees' knowledge of technology, legal compliance regulations and tools up to date. With the pace of technological progress being much faster than the rate of annual training cycles, employees have to develop their knowledge continuously to meet their daily performance expectations. Microlearning, in the sense of breaking down learning content into bite-sized pieces of usually no more than 2-10 minutes and integrating them into the existing workflow, was developed as an answer to this challenge."
"Why small learning units fit modern work processes Unlike the traditional definition of microlearning that defines it solely as a short format (e.g., video), today's microlearning is characterized by its scope and duration as well as the fact that each module addresses a very specific goal, e.g., one process, one change in a law/regulation or one new feature of a product, and can be completed independently."
"Corporate learning analyses reveal that, compared to the 20-30% completion rate of traditional e-learning courses, microlearning-based modules complete at a level above 80%. This is due to the fact that the time required to complete a microlearning module seems reasonable to most employees and the content is clear and easy to understand. Furthermore, microlearning has a positive impact on employee productivity since the time spent on training can be reduced by up to 60% according to reports from workplace learning platforms"
Many companies face significant challenges keeping employees' knowledge of technology, legal compliance regulations, and tools up to date. Technological progress outpaces annual training cycles, requiring continuous knowledge development to meet daily performance expectations. Microlearning breaks learning content into 2–10 minute bite-sized pieces and integrates them into existing workflows. Each module targets a single goal—one process, one legal/regulatory change, or one product feature—and can be completed independently. Microlearning modules achieve completion rates above 80%, compared to 20–30% for traditional e-learning. Training time can be reduced by up to 60% without decreasing effectiveness, boosting engagement and productivity. Microlearning's success is highly dependent upon the testing effect, also known as "test-enhanced learning".
