1 Chunk and sequence

One of the key principles of microlearning is to chunk and sequence the learning content into manageable and meaningful units. This helps learners focus on one concept or skill at a time, and avoid cognitive overload. However, chunking and sequencing can also be used to create opportunities for collaboration and community among learners. For example, you can design each chunk as a mini-challenge or problem that learners have to solve together in small groups or pairs, using online tools such as Google Docs, Padlet, or Flipgrid. You can also sequence the chunks in a way that builds on the previous ones, and requires learners to share their solutions or feedback with the whole class or a larger group.

2 Use multimedia

Another principle of microlearning is to use multimedia to present the learning content in different formats and modalities. This helps learners access the content according to their preferences and needs, and also enhances their retention and recall. However, multimedia can also be used to foster collaboration and community among learners. For example, you can use videos, podcasts, or infographics to introduce a topic or a question, and then ask learners to respond or discuss it using the same or a different format. You can also use multimedia to showcase learners' work or achievements, and create a sense of belonging and recognition.

A dialogue is learning in action. When learners are thinking, responding and debating … your learning is cutting deep. We are programmed to learn socially - so creating an interactive community and discourse is powerful. Leverage video, chat, posts and more to let your learners bring their own unique takes to the topic, … and watch their learning journey take flight.

3 Provide feedback

A third principle of microlearning is to provide feedback to learners on their performance and progress. This helps learners identify their strengths and weaknesses, and adjust their learning strategies accordingly. However, feedback can also be used to foster collaboration and community among learners. For example, you can use quizzes, polls, or surveys to check learners' understanding and engagement, and then share the results or insights with the whole class or a smaller group. You can also use peer feedback or self-assessment to encourage learners to exchange constructive criticism and praise, and to reflect on their own learning.

4 Gamify and reward

A fourth principle of microlearning is to gamify and reward the learning process. This helps learners increase their motivation and enjoyment, and also reinforces their learning outcomes. However, gamification and rewards can also be used to foster collaboration and community among learners. For example, you can use badges, points, or leaderboards to recognize learners' achievements and efforts, and to create a sense of competition and cooperation. You can also use scenarios, stories, or missions to immerse learners in a realistic and relevant context, and to create a sense of purpose and identity.

Learning today is about results. People are busy, ambitious, and looking for value. So we have to make the learning journey fulfilling, and focus on goals and rewards. If the learning outcome is exciting and motivating enough, learners will queue up to learn with you. Attracting motivated learners is a game changer. A pleasure to teach and work with, and inspiring to see the results and impact they uncover with your concepts and skills. So your learning needs to have explicit benefits and rewards, and to focus on delivering these in a sequence that builds towards the big goal. If you give value, in an accessible way - and learners feel the power and reward - your learning outcomes will reach new heights.
