Why You Should Create Microlearning Modules in Articulate Storyline

Imagine you’re eating a pizza all by yourself; you have the first slice, then the second, third, fourth and you’re full! You still have a few more slices left but your tummy is full. Well, this is how your employees feel when they take an hour long e-learning course. Wouldn’t it be easier to eat a slice of pizza rather than the whole and suffer from indigestion? Similarly, it is better to create microlearning courses rather than bombarding your employees with full length courses in the name of training. A whole pizza represents a full length course, and a slice signifies a microlearning course. So how can you make the perfect slice of microlearning course? With a perfect oven, in this case an authoring tool, and nothing says microlearning better than Articulate storyline!

Let’s see how Microlearning and Articulate Storyline go hand in hand in creating the prefect microlearning course.

With microlearning, you can easily update and share new information in a jiffy, and with authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline in your arsenal, your employees don’t have to wait for a long time to receive the updated microlearning course on their devices.
