Management and Strategy

Learning and development professionals strive to help people get better at what they do every day. But acquiring knowledge isn’t enough to improve performance. In order to do better work tomorrow than they did today, people need to change their behaviors. That’s when learning becomes effective and gets results. However, behavior change is hard. It takes time, energy, and commitment. The only way to keep people engaged in the project of real transformation is to give them an experience they love.

Microlearning, the process of learning complex topics in small, focused segments, meets learners where they are with short, effortless content delivered in the moment it’s needed. In this session, you’ll find out how and why this approach can have a large impact, despite the small size of each piece of content. You’ll also learn more about how to create a microlearning strategy of your own to meet the needs of your audience and the goals of your company.

In this session, you will learn:

  • About the engaging power of digestible, point-of-need learning moments
  • How microlearning engineers big transformation through tiny learning experiences
  • How to create an effective microlearning program that people love
  • Why traditional training isn’t enough

Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers, developers, project managers, managers, directors, and and those responsible for curriculum development.
