We are learning all the time and often don’t even realise it.  

How can employers take advantage of this type of learning in the workplace?

And why should they?

With a mere 10% of employees recalling training a year on, businesses hare challenged to grow and develop their staff.

“Speed is a major factor in learning - the answer has to be delivered quickly to satisfy the learner”Good Practice - “The Secret Learning Life Of UK Managers”

Microlearning can address these issues by• making the training more easily and quickly digestible• delivering it in bite-sized chunks• gradually building up knowledge in quick short focused manageable

When implementing Microlearning in the workplace, it is important to consider the learning style of your employees.

Are they:

• auditory, • visual, • read-write • or kinaesthetic learners?

By repurposing training content in different Microlearning formats, employers can optimise training for all learners - meeting the requirement of speed and efficiency.

Examples of how content can be repurposed in a Microlearning format to meet the learning needs of their employees:

• Auditory learners – create short 3-5 minute podcasts from course content,

• Visual learners – transcribe the course content, incorporating relevant infographics and gradually supplying the trainee with each learning “chapter”,

• Read-write learners – ensure each “chapter” course handout has space for the learner to write their own comments as they progress and introduce a written quiz,

• Kinaesthetic – create a set of micro-games around the content.
