If you assign a 45-minute security video, your employees will press play, mute the audio, and check their email in another tab. Microlearning fixes this.
The Definition
Microlearning delivers content in focused bursts, typically 1 to 3 minutes long. Each module covers exactly one specific concept (e.g., "How to inspect a URL").
Defeating the Forgetting Curve
The Problem: Humans forget 70% of what they learn in 24 hours.
The Fix: Spaced Repetition. Short, frequent reminders over time keep knowledge fresh.
Result: 20% higher retention rates compared to long-form lectures.
Business Benefits
Less Downtime: Learning happens in the flow of work.
Lower Cognitive Load: Focusing on one thing at a time.
Just-in-Time: Immediate 60-second lessons right after a mistake (Teachable Moment).
