Microlearning Solutions for Modern Corporate Training

When less is just right.

Whether legacy long-form courses or simply an idea from your L&D team to impact employee performance—no matter what your starting point, we partner with you to make the most of what microlearning has to offer.

When we think ‘microlearning’, we think:

Single-focus nuggets

In as little as 3-5 minutes, a microlearning nugget or activity captures a single objective, a single concept that serves to address one specific purpose in the work context.

A mixed bag of content types

With microlearning, you have the freedom to deliberately design each nugget with unique media types and instructional design approaches yet hold the power to impact your business through self-standing nuggets, think videos, infographics, mini-games, audio bytes, and lots more.

Spaced, mobile-friendly delivery

String the nuggets together into customized learning paths across a time frame or use them as incremental plug-and-play pieces in performance campaigns—microlearning and spaced learning work really well together.

Our Approach for Designing Microlearning Solutions

Analyze the existing course or idea from the viewpoint of business and employee objectives

Identify single-focus topics relevant to the larger goal

Define the content and media treatment for each topic nuggets

Craft a learning journey keeping in mind the overarching performance goal

Design, develop and deliver the nuggets

The best part? Design once, and plug into multiple interventions. All in all, a win-win for your business: focused employees consuming a variety of content nuggets in carefully crafted learning journeys.
