1. We live in a fast-paced world.
2. Our culture thrives on a “need it yesterday” mentality.
3. There’s simply no time for training.

Do you recognize these expressions? Does your organization look to microlearning as the solution to our “too busy” problem?

When business leaders drive training based solely on time, it’s often challenging to meet the goals they’re looking for.

As training professionals, we need to build the appropriate case for a microlearning strategy. (HINT: “They don’t have time, so go fast,” isn’t the greatest strategy!)

In this session, we’ll examine when and how microlearning works. And how to get business leaders to embrace what it can do for them.

After this session you be able to:

• Analyze your content for microlearning opportunities
• Build the case microlearning as a targeted part of your learning strategy
• Communicate the benefits of microlearning
• Focus content to the micro-level

In recent years we’ve made important strides in learning experience design (LXD) ―but the transformation is not yet complete.

If we want to truly reap the rewards of performance improvement, success, retention, and business growth, there needs to be seismic shift from a content focus, or even an experience focus, to a learner focus.

If we truly believe in creating Meaningful, Memorable, and Motivational learning experiences that improve performance, we need to re-think how we approach our formula for success.

Join Dr. Michael Allen and Ethan Edwards of Allen Interactions and Allen Academy to uncover:

• What it looks like to move past content-focused and experience-based instruction to truly learner-centric learning
• Discover the elements that make up “the whole learner experience” that we call “The Learner’s Journey”
• Uncover practical “Learner’s Journey” instruction design strategies that can transform learning experience designs for maximum effectiveness and success
