Reasons why microlearning is replacing training courses

Transform your training approach with microlearning: effective memorization, agile updates, accessibility, and everyone’s participation in the educational process as an enhancement for training courses.

It’s easier for the brain.

Short-term memory can only hold up to four pieces of new information, then research suggests that the information is overwritten or diverted before it can be transferred to long-term memory. Therefore, by breaking down topics into small parts, new knowledge is retained more easily.

It’s easier to create and update.

Unlike boring courses that can take weeks or months, when the course consists of a few key messages, it’s possible to design a course in the morning and distribute it in the afternoon. And if a relevant case study appears in the news the night before, it can be easily included, ensuring you always have fresh and updated information.

Microlearning is more effective.

Since employees can train through their smartphones at their own pace, technology allows for more interactive and even gamified lessons. Learners strive for a higher score by answering correctly and quickly, and if real rewards are added for the best performance, they may forget they are being trained. Microlearning courses have completion rates of over 90%.

It’s easy to distribute.

Microlearning-based training courses can be downloaded anywhere via the cloud, and since it can be accessed from their own phones, if a worker doesn’t have internet access at home or outside their workplace, they can easily download specific micro-lessons minutes before they need them.

Anyone can create a lesson.

Through the use of simple interactive templates, anyone can upload information and ask questions about it, serving as a peer learning facilitator. Experts suggest that one-third of online learning should come from peers, and it’s not hard to understand why: no external trainer will know more about the specific functions of your organization than the people who are already part of it.
