Listicles for Microlearning #503: Challenge | Recap
One common challenge for course designers is figuring out what really matters. With so much content available, it's way too easy to overload learners with extraneous details and information. That's why having frameworks that set clear boundaries can be helpful, even for experienced designers.
7 Things You Should Know About
A good example is EDUCAUSE's "7 Things You Should Know About..." series.
Each topic is covered by answering seven key questions in just two pages. It's short, clear, and useful. Readers quickly understand new ideas and concepts. Setting limits like these makes difficult topics easier to follow.
How can this help with microlearning?
Listicles like "7 Things" gives course designers a solid blueprint or starting point. By setting similar constraints, like focusing each module on one idea or limiting length, content stays clear and effective. And keeping it short and engaging is what this week’s challenge is all about.
🏆 Challenge of the Week
This week, your challenge is to share an example of a microlearning course. You can use Rise, Storyline, PowerPoint, or any app you prefer. If you’re up for it, try using the 7 Things framework or something similar to guide your example.
