- Self-directed learning which allows learners to access courses at their own pace. For instance, playing videos on specific topics related to a matter of interest which could be a Ted Talk, YouTube video or corporate product video.
- A means to change behaviour. Microlearning changes learner behaviour as they interact with each piece of content continually, making action reverse a career-long journey of self-improvement just as we all use the Internet to search for products online before we visit a store.
- Covers different topics, catering to diverse learning objectives.
- A short video accessible on a mobile device used for employee onboarding, leadership development for the company’s managers or re-engaging the sales teams.
