Course Info

Microlearning is an ever-evolving segment of the professional learning field. While organizations may define and implement it in different ways, one thing is clear—microlearning is here to stay. Bite-sized learning provides necessary support for busy employees who may not otherwise be able to participate in formal training on a given topic and can help organizations meet compliance needs and improve job performance. If you can address learning needs more quickly and efficiently, employees will be grateful—and so will their managers!

So, how do you get started? This certificate program guides you through the entire process of designing, creating, and promoting a microlearning program using the exclusive MIcroLEarning Design Model (MILE). You will define microlearning, review current trends, determine the appropriate contexts for its use, and learn how to turn videos, blogs, infographics, e-learning activities, and more into effective microlearning resources. We will analyze successful microlearning examples, including those created without a Learning Management System (LMS), taking away ideas for our own future programs. 

As part of the program, you will draft your own microlearning resource and get feedback from your peers and facilitator. You will leave the program ready to incorporate microlearning into your talent development initiatives.
