Your design toolkit is about to get a microlearning upgrade. You already apply design principles to your elearning, so what happens when you add principles built specifically for microlearning? Microlearning-specific design principles are a valuable complement to the elearning design knowledge you already have.
This session unpacks the seven microlearning design principles and the learning science behind them. You will see each principle come to life through a microlearning development tool, examining designs in real time and discerning the application and need for each element.
Whether brand new to microlearning or looking to sharpen an existing practice, you will challenge and validate your design thinking through guided discussion and collaborative activities. A practical takeaway handout will support continued application long after the session ends.
By the end of this session, you will be able to
- Define the role of cognitive load theory in microlearning design.
- Identify the seven microlearning design principles.
- Evaluate the application of microlearning design principles using a microlearning development tool.
