Micro-learning involves learning in smaller steps, and goes hand-in- hand with traditional e-learning.Typically, micro-learning exercises are best utilized at the point where a student will actually need the information, or when they are going to be most receptive to receiving that information For instance, watching a video online about how to replace a car's air filter or reading a blog post that talks about gardening indoors are perfect examples of real-life micro- leaming exercises

As a matter of fact, we encounter micro-learning on a daily basis.

Typically, micro-learning exercises are best utilized at the point where a student will actually need the information, or when they are going to be most receptive to receiving that information For instance, watching a video online about how to replace a car's air filter or reading a blog post that talks about gardening indoors are perfect examples of real-life micro- leaming exercises

As a matter of fact, we encounter micro-learning on a daily basis. Even reading a bulletin that has been posted at work about on-the-job safety or going through tweets in your timeline to catch up on the latest news can be considered micro-learning activities
