Microlearning to me is a key aspect in the rapid e-learning, social networking, e-Learning 2.0 world. People don’t really learn huge content at a time, but only bits and pieces.
As we accumulate tools to distribute data and knowledge at faster speeds, it is even more important that we develop the skills to identify Microlearnings or micro-knowledge that help in our application of that knowledge.
Here is a good resource : Microlearning (Wikipedia).
