How to Create a Successful Micro-Learning Strategy for Your Moodle LMS

"Bringing learning to people is what we need instead of bringing people to learning."

Since learning is not like a hat and one size does not fit everyone and each individual is unique and has their own learning power, there is no technology that can fit everyone. 

It is for all these reasons that micro learning came into effect and soon became a means to keep the learners engaged.

Microlearning is a very interesting way to present the concept about a particular thing in short or micro bites. 

As a matter, it is a trend that is to stay for long. Moodle LMS is a popular system that is used by many academic organizations to offer their online courses in a systematic manner. 

Educational organizations began to experiment with micro-learning so that they could help the learners effectively and efficiently while working. 

"But one should always plan a perfect microlearning strategy to make it a success."

Here in this blog, I will discuss with you the four main tips to devise a microlearning strategy for better employment engagement:

The Moment of Need:

Learning for some needs is when the student or the employee needs specific guidance, help or quick learning in order to complete a task. 

“Most e-learning modules that are created by using Moodle LMS is at times difficult to understand and cannot be grasped quickly to aid the moment’s need. So, by the time they are prepared for the task, they are occupied with something else.”

This less engagement and utilization has a great impact on the productivity. But a proper micro-learning strategy can help to solve real time problems, and help to brush up skills on particular subject by using micro nuggets.

 Prepare an Architecture for the Changes in Micro Behavior:

The main purpose of microlearning in Moodle is to change what learners do rather than what they know.

Constructive feedback, decision making, design thinking and etc. are often very complicated to implement in the workplace and in practice.

Micro modules help the employees to slowly build the fluency within the specified period. A good architecture will help in quick learning.

Adding More Micro Interactions:

Another best thing about microlearning is to help the learners easily get straight to the point where they can learn new concepts and implement them. 

The core objective of a microlearning Moodle course should always be to keep the learners active and engaged. And for this they need to have micro interactions. 

These interactions can be a simple moment when the learners have to perform an action and show that they have learnt the module by selecting a specific button. 

They can also answer some questions and receives stars based on their performances. These micro interactions often help the learners to focus more on the learning content.

"Learners always need to be constantly engaged and micro learning helps to deliver effective learning." 

You can deliver it with Moodle LMS courses and create interactive videos, quizzes and podcasts and etc. With a lot of choice before the learners, they can use the one that suits them best.
