This significant drop in attention is making it harder than ever to engage virtual audiences via traditional learning methods, and is encouraging organizations to transition to alternate formats.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3>Utilizing the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve<\/h3><p>One of the key theories behind the science of Microlearning is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growthengineering.co.uk\/forgetting-curve\/\">Hermann Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve<\/a>. Ebbinghaus studied memory decay without reinforcement, and discovered that:<\/p><ul><li>50% of information was forgotten after one day<\/li><li>90% of information was forgotten after one week<\/li><\/ul><p>Combined with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Audience_memory_curve\">audience memory curve<\/a>, which suggests that audience attention peaks at the beginning and the end of a presentation, while dipping in the middle, it become clear that traditional methods are no longer suitable for modern audience.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Microlearning helps to counteract this information loss and anchor information into long term memory by delivering information in short segments and building in regular reinforcement through quizzes, polls and recaps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f45d58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f45d58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Benefits of Microlearning<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c1a410 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c1a410\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Flexibility and Convenience<\/h3><p>One of the biggest strengths of microlearning is its flexibility. Learners can consume content at their own pace, on a schedule that works best for them. For continued professional education events that span multiple time zones, microlearning modules offer an accessible, convenient learning experience that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/business\/talent\/blog\/learning-and-development\/benefits-of-microlearning\">increases the chance of core objectives being fulfilled<\/a>.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>Learner Preference<\/h3><p>Modern learners, especially younger professionals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edtechreview.in\/trends-insights\/insights\/infographic-94-learners-say-they-prefer-microlearning-enhancing-workplace-training\/\">express a preference for shorter formats.<\/a> With the rise in popularity of shortform content in both video and text platforms, the preference in training has also shifted to mirror these trends. Microlearning satisfies the desire for shorter content, aligning professional development with the technological standard.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>Cost-Effective and Scalable<\/h3><p>The benefits of Microlearning aren\u2019t just for learners. Even for the most experienced teams developing long-form training content can be both expensive and time-consuming. Microlearning modules are typically easier to produce, update, and repurpose when compared to their longer form counterparts, which can increase their overall ROI.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0225139 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0225139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best Practices for Structuring Microlearning Content<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e7e8f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e7e8f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Creating microlearning content takes more than chopping up existing materials into smaller segments.
