You can create a microlearning course in Easygenerator in just a few minutes. This article shows you how to build a short learning unit either from a template or from scratch.

Microlearning keeps information simple and easy to consume. Learners get only the content they need, right when they need it, without long pages or complex navigation.

What is Microlearning?

Microlearning is an educational approach that involves delivering information or learning materials in focused, bite-sized units. It emphasizes short and targeted learning experiences designed to meet specific learning objectives. Complex topics are broken into easy-to-digest modules, usually 2–10 minutes long. This approach helps reinforce learning and improve knowledge retention.

You can create microlearning from scratch or by using a template.

Note: Adding sections and pages to your microlearning is optional. However, we do not recommend using them, as the purpose of microlearning is to keep content as short as possible – this allows learners to quickly consume information without investing large amounts of time.

3. Optional: Once you have added the required information to your microlearning, you can configure it to suit your goals. You can do this via the 3 dots in the top right corner of the Editor > Settings.
