Microlearning in Rise 360 #407: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to create a project using Rise 360’s new microlearning feature.

What is microlearning and why is it important?

As a learning strategy, microlearning focuses on chunking content into small, easy-to-consume bits. For example, a typical course consists of multiple modules with a seat time of 30-60 minutes or longer. On the other hand, a microlearning course would include only a single chapter or topic and have a seat time of five minutes or less. Presenting lessons in smaller, more manageable chunks of information helps learners better understand and retain the material.

With Rise 360, you can now create microlearning courses that scroll continuously or step through content at points you define. This is ideal for course designers looking for efficient ways to deliver bite-sized content focused on a single learning objective. Check out the following examples to see how it works.

  • Hello!

    I was very excited to start using the new microlearning features in Rise and you may have already seen this demo on LinkedIn and Twitter.

    I'm particularly enjoying being able to jump straight from the header image to the content, without having to pass through a menu/contents page first.

    The other big change - 'stepped' navigation - is also really cool. I can't decide whether I prefer it to the traditional 'continuous' navigation or not. So I made two versions of this demo for comparison.

    Stepped Navigation https://bit.ly/elhc407stepped

    Which version do you prefer?

      I felt the stepped was easier to navigate as well! Very creative Jonathan!

      This was great! Not related, but I loved that you added a magnifying glass icon on the labeled graphic markers with images. Seems like a great way to cue the learners to that feature!
