Listen "85 — In defence of microlearning"
Episode Synopsis
This week's podcast covers the thorny topic of microlearning. We struggle to even define microlearning, so does the term have any real value? Is it 'chunking'? 'Performance support'? Can we agree on a definition that makes it useful? If so, what is it, and how can we help clients understand it? Ross G and Owen thrash out the answers with microlearning aficionado Shannon Tipton. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can tweet us @rossgarnerGP, @owenferguson, and @stipton. You can also find us @GoodPractice or @GoodpracticeAus.
