Breakfast Meeting:
Wednesday, August 18th
Microlearning:
Can You Really Learn in Small Increments
While on the Run?
Presented by:
Brian Butcher
Catholic Healthcare Partners
and
Verne Morland
ROI Learning Services
1. Program overview
Everyone is pressed for time these days. Few feel they have the time to take a training
course. In the face of this reality the training industry has come up with a new idea:
“microlearning.”
What is microlearning, how is it designed and delivered, and, most importantly, does it
work? Brian Butcher and Verne Morland will provide some microlearning examples and
suggest answers to these questions at our August breakfast meeting.
2. Who Should Attend?
This program is designed for professional trainers and training managers responsible
for bringing new knowledge and skills to busy people – employees, managers, executives,
students. Microlearning is also particularly applicable to the mobile learning devices,
so if you are responsible for sales people or others who are always on the go, then
this program is for you.
3. What Will You Learn?
Brian and Verne will describe several methods for implementing microlearning programs
and they will facilitate a discussion with members of the audience to identify the pros
and cons of this new idea. When you leave the meeting you should have a good idea what
microlearning is and some of the ways in which it can be productively applied in corporate
and academic settings.
4. What you should bring, do, or read before the program
The success of this program will depend, in part, on the motivation and expertise in the
audience. If you have had no experience with microlearning, we encourage you to take 15
minutes to explore the concept and its application starting with this
entry in Wikipedia, this
article
about “Spaced Education,” and this article in CLO Magazine, “
Is there
Macrovalue in Microlearning?” If you have had some experience with or exposure to
microlearning, please take a few minutes to collect some materials or examples that you
can share with the audience during the discussion period. Thank you.
