Are You Ready to Deliver Microlearning?

Microlearning is a hot topic in talent development, but it seems to be vaguely defined. Many in the field refer to microlearning as learning that occurs in bite-sized chunks. In Microlearning to Boost the Employee Experience (2017), Elise Greene Margol defines microlearning as “training delivered in small, short bursts.”

What these types of definitions lack are the actual time limits microlearning should fit. So while such existing definitions are useful, they are not particularly descriptive or practical for talent development professionals. To bring some clarity to this topic, the Association for Talent Development (ATD) surveyed 596 talent development professionals, finding that 38 percent currently use microlearning and another 41 percent plan to start within the next year. The results also indicated that microlearning should average about 10 minutes, with a maximum length of 13 minutes.
