One of the major flaws in the older learning methodologies has been the fact that they could not provide learners with enough intrinsic motivation to complete courses and learn new skills, or attain new knowledge.
Motivation is a very significant component of learning and leads to better absorption and retention of learned concepts. There are a number of factors that motivate a learner to learn better, some of them intrinsic i.e. coming from inside, and some extrinsic i.e. coming from the outside. Out of these the intrinsic factors are more important in order to develop skills and knowledge in the modern knowledge as it creates an interest in learning itself. Microlearning is such a modern digital learning methodology that has the ability to create an intrinsic motivation in learners. In this article we’ll discuss the intrinsic motivation factors in microlearning that intrinsically motivate learners.
