Understanding Key Microlearning Formats
Microlearning is a big umbrella that offers various formats for training managers to leverage in their training programs. Get to know about the various microlearning formats and when to use them for maximum benefits.
Content Slides
Modern learners prefer short-form content over lengthy text. Instead of long paragraphs, microlearning allows training managers to break down the content into smaller pieces of information using carousels or slides. Topic-specific carousels keep the employees engaged, and they can learn about a certain topic without getting overwhelmed with all the information.
Infographics
True to its name, infographics is a mix of information and graphics. It presents relevant information to learners using quirky visuals and to-the-point text. It adds a visual appeal to your training and drives better knowledge recall in employees. Used to provide concept-specific information, step-by-step process, DIYs, etc., infographics are a great microlearning format to deliver information with ease.
Podcasts
With audio training materials, your employees can listen and learn. Be it an audio recording or a podcast where employees get to discuss the topic, exchange ideas and opinions, etc., leads to an active engagement and facilitates better recall value.
Videos
Microlearning videos stem from our fondness for social media. The diverse learning needs and reduced attention span of the modern generation of learners led to the popularity of video-based lessons. Videos keep the learners engaged and focused, and they also have the flexibility to pause, rewind or forward at any time they want.
Flashcards
Flashcards are an effective way to memorize information and simulate recall. Organizations can use these to share product features, technical information, acronyms, true or false statements, etc. Employees can reflect on their learning and flip to know the correct answers. This builds an easy recall value and enhances their performance.
Apart from these, microlearning offers a variety of training formats like storytelling, games, animations, quizzes, and more. All these formats have their benefits and surely provide a better learning experience for your employees.
While all microlearning formats are powerful in themselves, blending them with AI can double their power.
Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence In Microlearning
Artificial Intelligence has already enhanced the way business functions and L&D teams are leveraging AI tools to offer personalized and relevant training to their employees.Let’s see a few amazing benefits it offers:
Offer Real-Time Problem Solving
When your employees are introduced to a new topic, they invest their time and efforts to learn more about it. Often time, they are stuck somewhere or have a doubt to clarify, and need someone to help them right at that moment. This creates a roadblock in their learning! By integrating smart chatbots using AI, you can have virtual assistants to help your employees and facilitate real-time problem-solving. This real-time interaction will boost your employee’s confidence and increase their work productivity.
Facilitate Learning in Native Languages
Most employees wish to learn and interact in their native language, but enabling training sessions in different languages can be a cumbersome task if done manually. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, this can be done easily.
AI-enabled systems can analyze, process, and understand different human languages. By integrating an AI assistant into your system, employees can communicate in their native language- ask questions, clarify doubts, and exchange ideas. This enhances their knowledge retention, thereby improving their performance.
Create Smarter Training Modules
AI can easily convert text and lectures into video lessons and flashcards. It also enables training managers to perform quick and interactive assessments. With features like chatbots and assistants, AI can offer smart training to employees and expand their knowledge.
Offer Personalized Learning
Every learner has a unique style, and it can be quite challenging for the trainers to be able to meet the demands of everyone. With the help of AI, you can understand your learner’s preferences and interests, and also the courses they have taken in the past. AI algorithms can also understand the learner’s strengths and weaknesses. With all this information in hand, you can provide personalized suggestions to them and alter their learning materials. This way, AI can provide a dynamic and personalized training approach for all employees and improve their performance.
Save Time
With Artificial Intelligence, organizations can develop their courses faster as some of the processes like translations and localization become automated. Hence, microlearning course development which usually is a time-consuming task can be done efficiently.
Offer Valuable Insights
L&D professionals usually have limited data to evaluate their employee’s performance. With AI, it is easy to simplify complex data and analyse them for valuable insights. With its content analytics features, training managers can understand the learner’s progress, and identify their learning patterns to further enhance their learning experience.
Parting Thoughts: Leveraging AI For Microlearning
With digitization and the expanding global workforce, it has become imperative for training managers to deliver relevant, interactive and consistent training to their employees. With the various benefits of microlearning and AI, you must be wondering how to combine them effectively and create an impactful learning experience for your employees.
