I presented at ASTD TechKnowledge Conference in Las Vegas, January 28, 2010.
The topic I spoke of: Using Micro-eLearning Design for Learning 2.0 and Traditional eLearning.
Gist:
5 Step Process
- Be succinct
- Relate

Microlearning instructional design is based on storytelling.
Use Microlearning in operational areas where managers don’t want to waste time in lengthy training.

Questions from the audience:
Attendee: How long should a Microlearning be?
Ray: Depends on what your audience, content and tool and other considerations.
If for doctors, micro-might mean 5 minutes for each topic in video observation of a surgical procedure. For technician using a PDA or phone to check newest part, it may be only 30 seconds because he is on the job trouble-shooting an equipment. For an orientation training, micro might be 3 minutes.
Attendee: What is micro-instructional design?
Ray: Story-based Design
Attendee: How to implement Microlearning in enterprises?
Ray: The micro-ways. Find operational areas that can save time, reduce costs, increase profits with Microlearning. Usually line management understand this language. No one wants to waste time in operations.
