Why We're Mad for Microlearning

You may have noticed a theme at ELB Learning lately. We’re all about microlearning! We launched a new tool, we’ve been talking all about it in webinars, and we have some awesome free resources centered around microlearning.

Why do we love microlearning so much?

It’s short, it’s sweet, it’s effective!

Have you ever heard about KISS? Not the band, the acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid!

KISS is a design principle first noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. In the military, the acronym refers to the principle of designing systems and strategies that are simple, straightforward, and devoid of unnecessary complexity. 

Microlearning is just like that. Simple, straightforward, and SHORT content training modules that are easy to understand and consume. The proof is in the numbers:

  • A 10-minute microlearning course has a completion rate of 83%, compared to 20% to 30% for standard learning and development courses.
  • International Journal of Educational Research Review states that microlearning can boost retention rates from 25% – 60%.

In our eBooks and Infographics library, we have two infographics that can help you first make the case for microlearning to your stakeholders and second, build effective microlearning. Check them out:
