ABSTRACT
Conventional approaches to corporate training, such as instructor-led training and comprehensive e-learning courses, have significant drawbacks, chiefly their cost and the amount of time they pull employees away from their work for training. Corporate microlearning moves training into the workflow, minimizing disruption. It is a flexible approach to training that appeals to digital consumers. Microlearning is particularly effective as part of a broad training strategy, used to introduce and reinforce deeper training, to provide on-the-job learning and support in applying training, and to teach and review fact-dense content. This chapter will describe the appeal of microlearning in corporate settings and the problems and pain points it addresses. It will present best practices for designing and using microlearning with corporate learners and provide examples of microlearning in a variety of fields and use-case applications.
