It seems everyone is “going micro”, or wants to be. But you want to use microlearning in ways that will have maximum impact. So how do you assess your content to know where going micro will have the greatest value for your learners and your organization? During this episode of IDIODC, we’ll bring on special guest Carla Torgerson to discuss 6 questions you need to ask about your content to identify where using microlearning will work best.
