**CANCELLED** Key Practices for Microlearning

Research in learning and neuroscience indicate that microlearning can be an effective tool to provide relevant and brief instruction in quick and easy to access modes. A common misconception that still exists today is to take large amounts of information, compress it to assemble into short learning segments. Instead of compressing content, microlearning is taking large amounts of information, removing extraneous content, identifying key objectives, and reducing it into smaller chunks of content with typically one objective per microlearning activity or unit. This microlearning instructional activity or unit is delivered using a combination of text, images, videos, audio, games, quizzes, etc. to increase engagement and retention. In this workshop, audience will be introduced to apps including social media that provide fast integration into current training practices, will watch various examples, identify five key practices, and engage in improving one microlearning activity or unit applying the 5 key practices introduced and practiced in the workshop.
