What are Microlearning examples?

Elearning training like onboarding, short videos, point-of-view simulations, animation explainers, and technical training quizzes all benefit from the microlearning format. Microlearning can supplement in-person employee training when learners are in the field.

How long does it take to create a microlearning project?

While the amount of time for every microlearning project differs based on the number of modules, length, and complexity, it can take 4-8 weeks to produce microlearning courses. A savvy training company will create templates that can take the project less time to complete. One large factor is whether the learning content has already been written or not.

What are the benefits of microlearning?

Many learning and training leaders have included a microlearning strategy in their broader learning strategy because of the huge retention, engagement, and completion rate benefits. Rather than long-form synchronous training, microlearning is self-paced, just-in-time learning that can help learners develop new skills, upskill, and decrease the forgetting curve that can happen after traditional training.

It fosters continuous learning and emphasizes a learning culture, with an added measurement opportunity for training teams to gauge the need for employee performance support.

In short: microlearning modules have proven to be an effective learning format to supplement traditional learning.

How much does microlearning content cost?

Much like the production timeline, cost is dependent on all the same factors like length, complexity, and number of modules. Ensure you get a separate quote on just the content. Some companies may try to sell you microlearning platforms or microlearning tools, even develop separate apps to host your content. Be sure to distinguish between content and platforms. Reach out to NextThought for a clear, transparent pricing breakdown on microlearning content.
