The Micro Learning: Trend is Sweet

Eating one slice of cake at a time is usually a better idea than eating the whole thing at once. Similarly, whether we call it "bite-size learning", "microlearning," or "learning bursts," there is a dramatic shift in today's world of training and development. Corporations are moving away from day-long training events in an effort to maximize real learning while minimizing time spent devoted to training.

Experts say that this approach aligns with research showing that we learn better when engaged in short, focused sessions. Corporations and other organizations find this technology-assisted microlearning appealing because it can, in part, replace costly off-site training and deliver just-in-time knowledge and skills when they are most needed. Recognizing this trend, United University Online provides multiple micro leaning options, one bite at a time. See below for some of our micro-learning courses.
