Microlearning vs Macrolearning // Wednesday May 8th 2024 // 5–7pm
Join us for an engaging evening in the city featuring interesting people and interactive discussion.
The world of work is moving at an ever-increasing pace. To keep up, learning initiatives have trended away from a one-size-fits-all approach, offering just-in-time snippets for employees. Yet, there is still value in taking a more structured and comprehensive learning approach that goes deeper than surface level and facilitates a thorough understanding. How can we blend the right mix of learning for our employees and teams at a macro and micro scale?
Defining the terms
Microlearning is a type of L&D offering short, focused bursts of content at the point of need, allowing employees to control when and what they learn around their individual schedule.
Learner time invested per asset/experience: Measured in minutes (typically up to 15min)
Eg. Podcast, article, short eLearning, job aid, animation, video.
Macrolearning provides a structured experience for employees that can gradually increase in stretch level to give depth. This learning is typically delivered as part of comprehensive programs or courses.
Learner time invested per asset/experience: Measured in hours or days
Eg. 20min+ eLearning, skills sessions, courses, programs, pathways.
