Microlearning involves presenting short bursts of information that concentrate on specific subjects or topics. As a result, learners are able to remember complete training in less time, as opposed to attending long and time-consuming presentations or lectures.
Below are key reasons why you need microlearning to train members of staff.
1. Reduces cognitive overloadConsuming small chunks of information as opposed to large bits helps prevent cognitive overload, putting employees in a better position to absorb and internalize the key takeaways. They are able to acquire the skills they need to prevail over current job challenges and then proceed onto the next.
Microlearning does not overload the human beings’ working memory, which is known to only hold a limited amount of information. Thus, the brain is able to internalize key information and connect it to pre-existing knowledge.
