#GuildChat for 05/29/2015: Micro-learning

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday May 29th at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic for this chat is Micro-learning.

The convergence of learning and work is inevitable in many sectors as individual and organization seek to maintain productivity and learn in or as close to their work as possible. Micro-learning, or small learning activities which take little time to both create and complete, hold much promise in providing valuable content within the workflow.2015-01-09_11-14-16

Common examples of micro-learning include video vignettes, podcasts, blog posts, micro-games or “gamelets”, flashcards or other small quiz questions. In many cases it is learning content requiring little advanced technology or expertise to create.

Is the era of large elearning courses coming to an end? Can micro-learning fill the need for just-in-time learning? What becomes of the role of the learning professional when SMEs and peers alike can easily create and distribute  performance supporting content across the organization? Join us as we explore these and other questions about the rise of micro-learning.

Here are the questions currently scheduled to be posted during the chat.

  1. What does micro-learning mean to you? #GuildChat

  2. What examples of micro-learning have you seen? #GuildChat

  3. Why has micro-learning become such a popular topic today? #GuildChat

  4. What contexts is micro-learning most appropriate? What about that context fits micro-learning?

  5. When might micro-learning be an innappropriate solution? #GuildChat

  6. What technologies are useful in supporting micro-learning? #GuildChat

  7. How might the growth of micro-learning impact the organizational learning professional? #GuildChat

2:07 PM avspook Aviation training – greetings from Dubai  #GuildChat
2:07 PM AjayPangarkar a1) micro-learn should be ‘micro-apply’ – learning something when you need it and apply it immediately #guildchat
2:07 PM chris_benz Q1) Short bits of content, ideally delivered in a spaced manner to reinforce learning. #GuildChat
2:07 PM technkl A1 Learning how to manipulate the smallest elements in the world. Wait, wrong thing? #guildchat

2:07 PM LearnovateSA RT @eLearningGuild: Welcome to #GuildChat, brought to you by @eLearningGuild. Today we’re talking about micro-learning. #elGuild
2:07 PM Quinnovator a1) “…a small but complete learning experience”. But that’s not all that people mean when they use the term ;) #guildchat
2:07 PM JD_Dillon A1) Topical, contextual content that can be consumed quickly within the workflow #guildchat
2:07 PM gailfus Micro-learning is learning in small bites, good for on-the-spot learning. 1 or 2 short concepts covered. Can be serialized. #GuildChat
2:08 PM colinwelch A1) Or small prices of learning in lots of formats linked in some form of pathway (including on the job learning) #GuildChat
2:08 PM avspook A1) Chunked content in a digestable manner #GuildChat
2:08 PM willconstantine Happy Friday everybody! #GuildChat

2:08 PM theartofthexpat RT @eLearningGuild: Q1) What does micro-learning mean to you? #GuildChat
2:08 PM LnDDave A1) Learning in short-focused bursts of time. #GuildChat
2:08 PM AjayPangarkar a1) micro-learn = reinventing the wheel, people micro-learn everyday and every minute #guildchat
2:08 PM technkl A1 Real answer: small bits of content that can stand useful on their own or be grouped into a larger more meangful purpose #guildchat
2:08 PM Quinnovator a1) others can mean ‘spaced’ learning, or mean workflow performance support #guildchat
2:09 PM chris_benz So how is micro-learning different than micro-performance support? Or are they the same thing? #GuildChat  https://t.co/CefFQ3Byt9
2:09 PM AjayPangarkar a1) we’re all micro-learning right now #guildchat
2:09 PM britz A1. Micro-learning is a verb. An internal activity (as is all learning). In this context, small, single focused knowledge gains #guildchat
2:09 PM opurt11 Q1) @britz I prefer “task-based videos,” or “performance-assistance videos.” #guildchat
2:09 PM LnDDave A1) What I find interesting is that much talk of micro-learning is actually describing micro-training. There’s a difference. #GuildChat
2:09 PM gailfus @JD_Dillon C’mon, JD, that’s a textbook-sounding answer. Put some heart and sould into it! LOL #GuildChat

2:10 PM theartofthexpat RT @colinwelch: A1) Often just in time stuff. Delivered at the point of need #GuildChat
2:10 PM CoachCyndi @LnDDave what’s the difference David? #GuildChat
2:10 PM JD_Dillon So when does it become “micro” again? #GuildChat

2:10 PM amylearning Participating in my first #GuildChat.
2:10 PM gailfus @JD_Dillon Yes! Start off your weekend completely mentally exhausted instead of just a little! #GuildChat
2:10 PM JD_Dillon Act of consumption as opposed to content creation/strategy … #GuildChat
2:10 PM Quinnovator @AjayPangarkar are we? Or is this a macro learning event spread through micro bytes? think is important for definition #guildchat
2:10 PM theartofthexpat RT @AjayPangarkar: a1) we’re all micro-learning right now #guildchat
2:10 PM amylearning A1) Bite-sized learning, generally accessible when you want it how you want it #GuildChat  https://t.co/E10niiVruE
2:11 PM chris_benz Welcome, Amy! #GuildChat  https://t.co/s3QSrbLWXu
2:11 PM theartofthexpat RT @Minreeva: A1) On-time performance aids to keep on-the-go learners engaged and motivated #guildchat
2:11 PM theartofthexpat RT @JD_Dillon: Act of consumption as opposed to content creation/strategy … #GuildChat
2:11 PM aa_altieri @LnDDave Agreed.  I know people who say a lot, from which I learn very little.  Is that micro-learning? #GuildChat
2:11 PM technkl @britz so it plays into self directed learning often I would guess, just what you need when you need it? #guildchat
2:11 PM JD_Dillon @amylearning Welcome to the knowledge party! #Guildchat
2:11 PM chris_benz Ideally, micro-training leads directly to micro-learning. Ideally. #GuildChat
2:12 PM pbouffleur A1) Short, just in time learning that can be immediately applied. #GuildChat
2:12 PM AjayPangarkar @Quinnovator getting too much into the weeds IMHO #guildchat
2:12 PM JD_Dillon Mind … Blown … :-) #GuildChat  https://t.co/jI0H3jGTHi
2:12 PM eLearningGuild Q2) What examples of micro-learning have you seen? #GuildChat
2:12 PM pbouffleur RT @aa_altieri: @LnDDave Agreed.  I know people who say a lot, from which I learn very little.  Is that micro-learning? #GuildChat
2:12 PM technkl RT @eLearningGuild: Q2) What examples of micro-learning have you seen? #GuildChat
2:12 PM CandiceCPLP a1) short bursts of content on a focused topic #guildchat
2:12 PM gailfus @chris_benz Which we all know doesn’t always connect…#GuildChat
2:12 PM IOErikaO A1. It means giving respecting that people experience information overload #guildchat
2:12 PM LnDDave @CoachCyndi Micro-Learning is learning in short bursts; Structuring instruction in short bursts is really micro-training. #GuildChat
2:12 PM opurt11 Q1) @chris_benz “Micro-learning” implies both that learning is taking place, and that it is the intent. Neither need be true. #guildchat
2:12 PM britz @technkl Take just what I need and move on #guildchat
2:13 PM Quinnovator RT @eLearningGuild: Q2) What examples of micro-learning have you seen? #GuildChat
2:13 PM LnDDave RT @aa_altieri: @LnDDave Agreed.  I know people who say a lot, from which I learn very little.  Is that micro-learning? #GuildChat
2:13 PM chris_benz Like I said, ideally.  ;-O  #GuildChat  https://t.co/uoUCSOkqc1
2:13 PM TrainingDailyAv RT @amylearning: A1) Bite-sized learning, generally accessible when you want it how you want it #GuildChat  https://t.co/E10niiVruE
2:13 PM AlwaysBreaking A1) To me micro-learning is any small bit of info I can pick-up in a few minutes or less. Doesn’t have to be performance support. #GuildChat
2:13 PM AjayPangarkar @aa_altieri @LnDDave micro-learning is what you take away and can use a later point, even if you learn little #guildchat
2:13 PM theartofthexpat A1: thought, comment, application in under a minute … @eLearningGuild http://t.co/Eu1BYXupGb #nomadnote @eLearningGuild #GuildChat

2:15 PM LnDDave RT @eLearningGuild: Q2) What examples of micro-learning have you seen? #GuildChat

2:15 PM opurt11 Q2) Adobe uses a micro-learning approach to cover the features in a new Captivate release. #guildchat
2:15 PM CandiceCPLP A2) embedded help videos, podcasts. Sometimes hard to tell diff btwn ‘learning’ and simple communications. #guildchat
2:15 PM aa_altieri a2) Would those silly little bits at the end of GI joe cartoons count as micro-learning? #guildchat
2:15 PM chris_benz A2) I regularly use YouTube for tasks around the house, although the quality of the instructional videos is all over the board. #GuildChat
2:15 PM LnDDave RT @colinwelch: A2) User generated how to videos on YouTube #GuildChat
2:15 PM colinwelch A2) I’ve seen some good AR product demos – e.g HP one on how to change a printer cartridge – superimposed on the actual printer #GuildChat
2:15 PM AjayPangarkar a2) good ‘how-to’ DIY videos on stuff I needed to do in the house #guildchat
2:15 PM amylearning A2) Podcasts and YouTube are great examples of on-demand learning bites #GuildChat  https://t.co/f92j7jtJqU
2:15 PM LnDDave RT @willconstantine: Q2) I’ve seen a few short Techsmith videos in my feed and sometimes I use it  #GuildChat
2:15 PM darlesac Great blog post @Quinnovator #guildchat  https://t.co/06Va0k63UD
2:15 PM JD_Dillon A2) @Axonify (plug) provides the opportunity for daily reinforcement in brief, topical interactions #GuildChat
2:15 PM technkl @LnDDave but it could, people just tend to default to formal is all #guildchat
2:15 PM heikan2003 A2) The app Snapguide is a cool micro learning tool #guildchat
2:15 PM robert_dragan Q2 related – seems to me that the big publishers are avoiding #microcontent. Any opinions #GuildChat?

2:16 PM pbouffleur A2) we create short task based videos for our service techs linked to from service documents. #GuildChat
2:16 PM Quinnovator a2) many seem like performance support, not learning: DIY YouTubes may help you get job done but not necessarily learn #guildchat
2:16 PM JD_Dillon A2) Brief blog summaries that provide very specific tips, quickly consumed, as opposed to long-form articles #GuildChat
2:16 PM LnDDave A2) I’ve seen some great applications of short how to videos embedded into work processes. “Need to know more? Click here.” #GuildChat
2:16 PM em825 A2) Articulate Storyline2 tutorials are effective #GuildChat
2:16 PM JaneBozarth @chris_benz but there’s a lesson there. how do you choose the YouTube that suits you/is best to learn from? #guildchat
2:16 PM britz A2) Immediate feedback I give my son upon watching his swim stroke, which he applies #guildchat
2:16 PM opurt11 Q2) @JD_Dillon This is a key point. M-L works particularly well with auto-didacts. Not so well with those requiring more help. #guildchat
2:16 PM AjayPangarkar a2)not about the ‘tool’ it is about the design/delivery of learning – I use a hammer to put in a screw, doesn’t mean it’s right #guildchat
2:17 PM amylearning Love how many people are referencing @YouTube as #microlearning. Performance support in daily life! #GuildChat
2:17 PM PatriceKiraly RT @Quinnovator: do tell #guildchat https://t.co/CciJxq6USa

2:17 PM colinwelch A2) interesting that lots of people are citing DIY videos. Crowdsourced content is becoming a more accepted part of learning #GuildChat
2:17 PM technkl A2 those cool little menu’s that tell you move about the option you’r trying to choose, WordPress in my situation #guildchat
2:18 PM LnDDave @technkl Much of the gap between potential and reality rests in the default. #GuildChat
2:18 PM heikan2003 @AjayPangarkar I agree with that. The delivery that is best for me is visual. #guildchat
2:18 PM TrainingDailyAv RT @robert_dragan: A2: short youtube videos, blog posts, even a quick search on google can be micro-learning #GuildChat
2:18 PM colinwelch RT @amylearning: Love how many people are referencing @YouTube as #microlearning. Performance support in daily life! #GuildChat

2:18 PM DonaldClark #guildchat A1 Spaced practice is turbo-charged micro-learning
2:18 PM chris_benz #GuildChat Would hints/tooltips in software UIs count?
2:18 PM JD_Dillon A2) Users can define micro-learning opportunities using flexible content however they want – take what they need #GuildChat
2:18 PM IOErikaO A2.In element school they’d ask a Q of the week like What did dinosaurs eat? you’d spend the week answering. would that count #GuildChat
2:19 PM gailfus @heikan2003 @AjayPangarkar I prefer to read. Blogs work really well for me. #GuildChat
2:19 PM technkl Sometimes even YouTube is too bulky, it’s hard to find the part you want & isn’t searchable, depends on need though I guess #GuildChat
2:19 PM chris_benz The lesson I learned from YouTube is that some of the suggestions can get you killed. Caveat emptor! #GuildChat https://t.co/u7BSPKlgLQ
2:19 PM LnDDave A2) I also like the Screenr format. You get 5 minutes. That gives you enough time to demo the solving of ONE problem. #GuildChat
2:19 PM gailfus @chris_benz I think so…#GuildChat
2:19 PM eLearningGuild Q3) Why has micro-learning become such a popular topic today? #GuildChat

2:20 PM opurt11 @AjayPangarkar Are you really helping people learn, or just showing how to use one tool? What would actually serve them best? #guildchat
2:20 PM AlwaysBreaking A3) No one has time. A day of training is too much time away from work. #GuildChat
2:20 PM AjayPangarkar a2) is the IKEA instructions a micro-learn or micro-nightmare ;) #guildchat
2:20 PM aa_altieri @chris_benz No.  If we do, then we have to consider that MS Office Paperclip as micro-learning!! #guildchat
2:20 PM robert_dragan Not necessarily. You acquire new info and skills. Learning comes under many forms, not just academic #GuildChat https://t.co/9AW65SYpqe
2:20 PM amylearning @Quinnovator if a DIY YouTuber modifies behavior so the desired outcome is achcieved, isn’t that learning? #GuildChat
2:20 PM JaneBozarth @willconstantine @chris_benz and why that 1? #guildchat
2:20 PM colinwelch A3) #GuildChat Because technology now allows people to access bite sized pieces of information everywhere…
2:20 PM technkl A3 because formal learning is too big and cumpersom and unneeded. Small pieces of content generated by the people is more useful #GuildChat
2:20 PM JD_Dillon A3) Users are requiring specific, contextual support – tech enables – awareness of brain science #GuildChat  https://t.co/g8WyzzIelF
2:20 PM LnDDave It’s a fine line I think. Tooltips can solve a performance problem without any real learning taking place. #GuildChat http://t.co/lKL3zd0qEP
2:20 PM colinwelch A3) …and our attention spans are rubbish these days! #GuildChat
2:20 PM heikan2003 A3) I hope it is because we realized the brain can’t hold 4 straight days of ppt training. #guildchat
2:20 PM DonaldClark #GuildChat A2 Twitter, Blogs, Wikipedia, Ads, quotes, spaced-practice – NOT Hodgkin’s reusable learning objects!
2:20 PM JaneBozarth .@willconstantine @chris_benz side lesson in vanity metrics: The YouTube with the most views might just be the oldest. #guildchat
2:21 PM avspook A3) lifting of the bandwidth fence – & software for self construction – less time more data #GuildChat
2:21 PM britz A3. There’s an increasing desire for learning closer to/ within the work we do vs. outside of it. Micro-learning supports this #guildchat
2:21 PM AjayPangarkar a3) it’s popular b/c people are challenge for time & under tremendous pressure to deliver results #guildchat

2:21 PM willconstantine Q3) it’s all about the buzzwords #GuildChat
2:21 PM CandiceCPLP A3) because leadership thinks videos will solve all their problems. Only partially kidding. Hype. #guildchat.
2:21 PM colinwelch @opurt11 good point! A mixture of both. I’ve also seen some very bad but expensively produced learning video #GuildChat
2:21 PM Quinnovator @amylearning learning=persistent change in response to same context. If you’d not know how to do it the next time, <> learning #guildchat
2:21 PM opurt11 Q3) @technkl What of interaction? Spaced repetition? Feedback? These are no longer needed?  #guildchat
2:22 PM JaneBozarth @willconstantine @chris_benz also lesson in effective instruction not being 1 size fits all. Give options. Adults can choose #guildchat
