Attention spans are dropping, new skillsets are required more readily and time is becoming, more than ever before, a scarce resource. Traditional in-company training and on-boarding programs have had to adapt to this new scenario and so has language training. Micro learning or learning in small bites has come to the rescue, entailing low time commitment on the part of the learner, small chunks, low effort and narrow topics. It is spearheading this change in our habits and looks like anything but a passing fad. In this workshop participants will explore micro-learning design and carry out 3-minute activities to bite off a juicy portion of this tempting technique.
