- Microlearning Examples and BEST STUDY TIPS!
Are you interested in delving into what is microlearning and exploring it as a learning strategy?
Microlearning theory, or bite sized learning, deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Learning in stretches of 3-7 minutes matches the working memory capacity and attention span of humans and allows students to digest content quickly. Retention and comprehension becomes more focused and easier.
In this microlearning video I will provide an overview of microlearning, present microlearning research, microlearning best practices, microlearning trends as well as microlearning strategies and microlearning tips.

Love the content and approach!
Hi Janice! I just so happen to pick this video today. YOU blow my mind with how intelligent YOU are young lady! I am AMAZED of how awesome you speak about your topics! My plan is to pick 1 video, each morning, to listen and learn while drinking my first cup of coffee, hahaha. PLEASE keep doing what you do and being who YOU are - I am so impressed by YOU. Much admiration, Jimmy
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you!
Hi Janice, I would be curious to watch a video about your thoughts on abstract and concrete thinking. Thanks!
I love that idea! I actually have a lot to say about this topic ;)
I use Quizlet a lot to learn words👍
Me too! When I was studying for the GRE, I used it every day :)
Janice, please explain one thing. I have heared so many times that we humans can process 5 +/- 2 bits of information before we tap out. Where does this concept comes from and how do I understand a “bit of information”?
Great question! It comes from multiple different studies and tests that have been done. The average our working memory can hold is 7 items +/- 2. A "bit" of information is typically counted as a single word or a number. This only applies to your short-term aka working memory, so the bit has to be random and unknown to the person beforehand (for example giving someone a phone number with the area code from your city doesn't count as 10 bits because the first three numbers are already in the person's long term memory). You can test this out on someone you know. Recite a random list of 7 words, for example: bolt, fur, threshold, cafe, resort, storage, and guide (I pulled these from a random word generator website). Ask the person to recite them back. If they are correct without errors, give them a list of 8 completely new words. If they can't do 7 words, test them with 6 new words. Most people can do between 5 and 9. Another thing to keep in mind is that people can go beyond 9 bits if the person has already been trained in using certain memory tricks such as the memory palace technique that is generally used for memorizing long strings of numbers. The 7 bit rule applies to people who haven't had any specific training on how to do that. You might want to check out my video on chunking, which is basically another type of hack used to remember more bits than you normally would be able to.
Thanks, great reply. How do we fit visual or auditory information typically found in e-learning or microlearning?
@StjepanWerft I might be misunderstanding your question, but in general I recommend e-learning be mainly videos with audio and captions. This will usually be good enough for most types of learners because they can read the text and hear it at the same time as well as see visual infographics. I also recommend combining with some sort of games and quizzes to reinforce what is being taught. I plan to do a video on the topic of gamification at some point because combining games with learning is very effective. I also recommend watching my video on schemas because this talks about how to build off existing information. E-learning is best when you think logically about what a person should know first, then second, then third, etc so that the modules continue to build on each other and are easier to absorb.
@@SharpCookie I meant, when we discussed the 7 bits of information in a context of remembering numbers, it is easy to understand. But when you put it in the context of a video clip, how do you assess the information load?

Your so pretty.
