Micro Learning

A number of benefits can be attributed to micro learning –

• Micro learning pivots around the idea of a self-driven learning approach, where the employee can access information at his discretion. This imparts a lot of convenience to the employer and the employee.
• Micro-learning videos can be accessed by the employee at any given point of time, it makes it possible for the employee to learn about the topics that will directly help him in enhancing his productivity. Furthermore, this kind of training doesn’t require the employer to incur huge expenditures in terms of infrastructure and missing employee work hours. Since the employee can access the learning content anywhere, he is able to exercise a greater control over the learning process and that translates positively in his productivity and quality of his deliverables.
• Although the long form method of information dissipation can incorporate a lot of information, the stand-alone learning units of micro learning are more impactful and facilitate better information retention in employees. This is because micro learning hinges to the idea of quality information retention instead of quantitative benchmarks.
• Micro learning videos are short and this short form content can be easily updated when the time comes to incorporate any change that the employer might deem fit.
• In addition to that, micro learning content is usually compatible with devices other than the desktop. This means that the employee can assess the information on his mobile phone as well and this can significantly enhance the impact of the entire learning module.
• Since micro learning focuses on narrow topics instead, it becomes easier for the employee to imbibe necessary information and in case there is any doubt, the learner can always oscillate between different videos to facilitate ease of learning and understanding.
