Corporate training must evolve constantly to address the changing characteristics of workers.
The current state of eLearning includes a focus on microlearning. This style of instruction acknowledges critical changes to the way people learn, especially with regard to attention levels. The development of hyper attention, where the brain rapidly switches between numerous sources of information, arose as a direct result of multi-tasking and a media-driven culture. People’s attention spans became shorter, but their appetite for knowledge grew. Training that utilizes microlearning techniques breaks down content into small chunks, typically between three and seven minutes’ worth of information, matching the brain’s working memory and attention span.
