three advantages and two disadvantages of microlearning.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Microlearning<\/h3>\n<p>The three main benefits of microlearning are as follows<\/p>\n<p><b>Advantage #1: Learning content is more likely to stick.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">\nOne of the major advantages of microlearning is that the learning content is easily retained.<br \/>\nIn order to retain what we learn, we need to<span class=\"yellowline\"><b>Reviewing the same content over and over again is effective.<\/b><\/span>It has been said.<br \/>\nMicrolearning content is set up to be short, making it easy to review over and over again.<br \/>\nAnother advantage is that you can check whether you have understood what you have learned by taking quizzes.<br \/>\nIn order to retain what you have learned, you need not only input<span class=\"yellowline\"><b>Outputs are also important<\/b><\/span>, will be one of the solutions for employees both at home and abroad.<br \/>\nMicrolearning, which allows you to practice both, is expected to help you retain what you learn.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Advantage #2: You can study whenever you want.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">\nMicrolearning allows you to learn at your own timing because the learning content is segmented.<br \/>\nWhen you study on your smartphone, you can study not only in situations where you are in the office, but also on the commuter train.<br \/>\nYou can also learn new knowledge while on the job by taking advantage of unexpected gaps in your time.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Benefit #3: Reduced burden of creating and revising study content<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">\nMicrolearning also has the advantage of being less burdensome to create and modify learning content.<br \/>\nContents are basically 5 to 10 minutes in volume, so even if revisions occur, they do not cause an extremely large burden.<br \/>\nToday, it is said that change is difficult to read, and content once learned can become outdated in a short period of time.<br \/>\nThe fact that it is easy to flexibly modify the learning content to meet the changing times is an advantage that helps maintain the quality of the content.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Disadvantages of Microlearning<\/h3>\n<p>Microlearning has its disadvantages as well as its advantages.<br \/>\nThe two main disadvantages are as follows<\/p>\n<p><b>Disadvantage 1. not suitable for long hours of study<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">\nMicrolearning, with its fragmented learning content, is not suitable for extended learning.<br \/>\nFor example, content that can be learned in a short period of time, such as studying English vocabulary, can be handled with microlearning.<br \/>\nHowever, if the content requires a large amount of time, it may not be fully understood.<br \/>\nAlso, learning that requires face-to-face communication is not suitable for microlearning.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Disadvantage #2: Difficulty in explaining the details<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">\nMicrolearning can also be difficult to explain in detail.<br \/>\nWhen explaining complex management theories in detail, it is necessary to break a long video into several videos.<br \/>\nHowever, watching several 5-10 minute videos spread across several videos can be a burden on the learner.<br \/>\nE-learning is an effective way to explain detailed content.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading__l\" id=\"3\">Scenes where microlearning is used in the corporate world<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

the corporate world.<br \/>\nHere are two examples of situations where microlearning is used in the corporate world.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>In-house education and training for new employees<\/h3>\n<p>Microlearning is often used to train new employees who need to learn a lot of things, such as basic business manners and knowledge about the industry. The more items they learn, the more difficult it becomes to understand them in a long video like e-learning.<br \/>\nHowever, short videos, like microlearning, allow learners to study each item at their own pace.<br \/>\nIn particular, using videos will help you to deepen your understanding of content that is difficult to visualize in classroom lectures, such as exchanging business cards.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Education and guidance for managers<\/h3>\n<p>Microlearning is used not only to train new employees, but also to train managers.<br \/>\nUnlike entry-level employees, managers are expected to have a wide range of knowledge, including management skills.<br \/>\nHowever, it can be difficult for managers, who are often very busy, to set aside a large amount of time for training.<br \/>\nMicrolearning allows you to learn at your own pace, making it easier for busy managers to learn.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading__l\" id=\"4\">Key points to enhance the effectiveness of microlearning<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to increase the effectiveness of microlearning, keep in mind the key points before implementing it.<br \/>\nHere are some key points to improve the effectiveness of microlearning<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Use the right delivery system<\/h3>\n<p>When implementing microlearning, it's important to choose your delivery system carefully.<br \/>\nIf you choose a delivery system that is difficult to use, creating and revising questions can be time-consuming, and learners may also feel stressed.<br \/>\nIf there is a delivery system you are considering using, check to see if a free trial is available.<br \/>\nWe recommend that you first try it once and then carefully consider whether or not it will have the desired effect.<br \/>\n<div class=\"cardlink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/2021\/03\/19\/blog_micro-learning\/\"><div class=\"cardlink_thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/21-11-26-01-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"[Human Resource Development through IT Education] What is &quot;Microlearning&quot;, a hot topic right now?\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\"><\/div><\/a><div class=\"cardlink_content\"><span class=\"cardlink_timestamp\">2021.11.26<\/span><div class=\"cardlink_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/2021\/03\/19\/blog_micro-learning\/\">[Human Resource Development through IT Education] What is \"Microlearning\", a hot topic right now?<\/a><\/div><div class=\"cardlink_excerpt\">[Human Resource Development through IT Education] What is \"Microlearning\", a hot topic right now?\r\n\r\nNow that e-learning has become a common method of human resource development, \"microlearning\" is gaining attention as a new method of human resource development.\r\nThere are many people who know the term \"microlearning\", but most of them don't know the details...<\/div><\/div><div class=\"cardlink_footer\"><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading__l\" id=\"5\">Summary<\/h2>\n<p>In this article, we explained the details of microlearning, including its features and points to enhance its effectiveness.<br \/>\nMicrolearning is<span class=\"yellowline\">High affinity with e-learning<\/span>Therefore, by using both in a well-balanced manner, a high learning effect can be expected.<\/p>\n<p>Our e-learning system, \"learningBOX\", does not require any programming knowledge and can be operated intuitively.<br \/>\nFirst of all, it's free.<a href=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/en\/\">&nbsp;Free Plan<\/a>and experience the ease of use.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25bc Also recommended!
