Microlearning 2.0: Beyond Short Videos and Quick Tips

In this episode, Jackie walks through what she calls Microlearning 2.0, which is a future-ready approach that treats microlearning as small, purposeful learning moments that help people understand, practice, remember, or apply something useful. We talk about why this matters for adult learners in busy workplaces and higher education, especially when someone needs help at the moment of need. Instead of replaying an entire course, a learner may only need a checklist before a difficult conversation, a quick retrieval practice prompt to reinforce a concept, or a short scenario to sharpen decision-making.  Then, Jackie shares three practical design shifts for instructional design and training: moving from short content to focused outcomes, moving from consumption to action, and moving from isolated nuggets to connected learning pathways. You’ll leave with a simple Microlearning 2.0 check you can run on anything you’re building: Is it focused? Does the learner do something? Where does it connect in the larger learning journey?  If this helped you think beyond short videos and quick tips, subscribe, share the episode with a fellow educator or instructional designer, and leave a review so more learning leaders can find the show. 🔗 Episode Links Please check out the resource mentioned in the episode.
