Transforming an Online Course to a Microlearning Program

• In Event: DDL- Online Course Design and Structure

Short Description

In this presentation, an instructional designer will share how a traditional online course was transformed into a microlearning program. By presenting a prototype module, the designer will demonstrate how Zhang and West’s (2020) fundamental principles for microlearning—categorization and reference, brevity, visual tracking, central problem or skill, activation and assessment, and personalized learning—guided the design. The presenter will also ask for audience feedback to strengthen the project in its final phases.
