GP Strategies Releases New eBook on Micro-learning

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 8, 2017

Micro-learning is exploding in popularity. The workplace continues to evolve and employees are working less only within the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and more synergistically throughout all hours of the day, often on the fly from mobile devices, away from the office.

Micro-learning is defined as chunking learning material into short, rather than longer, modules or courses. As the learning industry shifts to a "resources, not courses" approach, organizations must remember that creating smaller courses does not necessarily mean valuable content is being delivered. Micro-learning needs to be created as part of a comprehensive learning strategy.

This eBook shares insights on advantages of micro-learning based on the following seven best practices for your learning strategy:
