The Effects of Microlearning: A Scoping Study

• In Event: Workplace Learning Roundtables

Abstract

Microlearning has gained popularity in both the training industry and professional studies disciplines over the last several years. While there appears to be plenty on what microlearning is and how to create, develop, and implement them from industry articles and commentaries, a closer look at the existing research is important to inform instructional design professionals of what the current trends are in using microlearning and what the effects of using microlearning training are on enhancing learner’s performance in the workplace as well as academic settings. Thus, this scoping review aimed to examine the literature and identify noticeable trends, patterns, and evidences of how microlearning has been used and implemented in both academic learning and industry training settings.
