What Is Microlearning?

Microlearning is a holistic approach that deals with small learning units (no shorter or longer than 3-5 minutes) for skill-based learning. It uses bite-sized content, including animation, videos, audio, slideshows, and mini webinars to deliver training that meets learners' needs. Microlearning is a widely used strategy in the eLearning industry since the advancement of technology has encouraged mobile learning. Although some people see microlearning as just a buzzword in the eLearning industry, it's a strategy that has helped to transform eLearning. Microlearning is an essential approach in eLearning as it helps learners become more engaged. Apart from that, it's a useful learning approach for boosting learners' retention ability. Microlearning nuggets are learner-centric as they can be used for personalizing training. They are also a useful online learning approach to deliver Just-In-Time training. Although the microlearning approach often uses a more informal training style, it can help boost your corporate training ROI. Below are 6 ways you can boost your corporate online training through microlearning.

1. Employee Engagement And Empowerment

With microlearning modules, you can provide a personalized learning experience for your employees. This will empower them to select the type of learning that suits their needs, at their convenience, instead of opting for generic training programs. Unlike traditional Performance Management training, where managers tell their learners what skills to learn, microlearning empowers them to select their preferred courses. The employees' ability to choose a preferred course is one of the factors that can help improve learner engagement. So, with improved learner engagement, it becomes easier for organizations to boost their corporate training ROI through microlearning.

2. Increased Speed Of Employee Development

Another way to boost your corporate training ROI through microlearning is by increasing the speed of employee development. With microlearning, instructors can give training programs that help to improve and develop their learners. Performance Management for employees is an ongoing process that involves employees identifying the behaviors that need improvement. Also, it includes training employees regularly to improve and acquire new skills. Although traditional training works, learners still need to come together, which is a learning barrier in today's digital world. However, with microlearning, you can deliver the program to your employees through customized training to meet their needs. Employees can access training in multiple formats that suit them. This will help to accelerate the development of employees.

3. Increased Corporate Online Training Completion Rate

You can also achieve a massive boost in your corporate training ROI through microlearning when you have an improved rate of completion. One of the factors of a decreased completion rate is developing lengthy course content. It is hard to access content from mobile devices. However, with microlearning, employees can access training courses on their mobile devices at their convenience, resulting in an increased completion rate.

4. Cost-Effective Development

Microlearning courses are less expensive and take less time to develop. That's because they only require a small amount of content in order to deliver engaging and easily accessible online training. So, cost-effectiveness is another way to boost your corporate training ROI through microlearning.

5. Fewer Investment Requirements And Reusable Content

Unlike traditional classroom training, microlearning requires less investment. That's because it only requires short and precise content and a low budget to be developed. Besides being less expensive to develop, microlearning content can also be reused. It can help save time and the cost of creating new content from scratch. All that is required is a little bit of a tweak, and it can be used as new content.

6. High Impact Learning

Microlearning content is created to meet a specific and single learning outcome. This has a direct and high impact on learning. One of the benefits of using microlearning for your online training is that it helps to boost your corporate training ROI. There are so many ways in which microlearning can help to increase your training ROI. So, harness its power to deliver a better learning experience that meets your learners’ needs.
