Microlearning in instructional design focuses on delivering content in short, focused segments that are easy to absorb and retain. It’s designed to meet learners' needs for quick, accessible information and fits seamlessly into busy schedules, allowing for on-demand learning that reinforces key concepts. By breaking down complex topics into bite-sized modules, microlearning enhances engagement, supports better retention, and fosters continuous learning. This approach is particularly effective for skills reinforcement, just-in-time learning, and addressing specific knowledge gaps, making it a versatile tool in modern instructional design.
