Microlearning: Are you Doing it “Right”?

On average, people only have 1 percent of their workweek to focus on learning, and employees are now interrupted as frequently as every five minutes^[1]. In addition to distractions, workers are simply too busy and impatient to sit down and complete hours-long training. Most learners will not watch videos more than four minutes long, and 55 percent of people spend fewer than 15 seconds on a website^[2].

As employee learning and development time continues to be a premium in organizations, Microlearning could be seen as the solution to end all issues – yet this strategy continues to be misunderstood. It has the potential to expedite learning and improve effectiveness – so why isn’t everyone doing it?

In this session, Summer Salomonsen, Chief Learning Officer at Grovo and Tom Tonkin, Ph.D., Principal Consultant, Thought-Leadership and Advisory Services at Cornerstone OnDemand, will conversationally discuss:

• The current state of Microlearning
• What Microlearning is, and is not
• Areas of success and pitfalls when it comes to Microlearning
• Creating a Microlearning strategy in your company in 3 easy steps
• Use cases and examples of Microlearning as experienced in real workplace scenarios

Join us for this lively discussion that will be insightful, casual, and is bound to have a fair amount of friendly banter and disagreement! You’ll walk away with a good understanding of Microlearning and how you can utilize it for your own benefit.
