About the course
Have you heard of microlearning?
Do you know what it is and how to use it in your content-creation process?
If you are an instructional designer and want to learn more about this concept, then this course is exactly what you need.
Microlearning is all about efficiency: creating shorter lessons to improve how your students engage with and experience your online content.
Translated into Portuguese, microlearning would be something like "microaprendizagem".
And it can be used in any kind of educational context: online courses, traditional classes and even private lessons!
The best part? It is easy to implement in your existing educational material - all you need is a few minutes of your time every day.
Microlearning is a powerful tool for teachers, instructors and instructional designers who want to improve their content and make it more engaging for their students. It is also an excellent way to introduce new material or reinforce concepts students have already learned.
In this course, I'll show you how to create microlearning courses using different tools and techniques. You will also learn the best practices for developing a microlearning course, including how to get the most out of its benefits. By the end of this course, you will be able to implement microlearning in your own educational content!
