March Monthly Workshop - NOW VIRTUAL! - Micro-learning for the 1%

Go ahead go and find a hotter buzzword in the L&D industry over the past few years. We dare you. You won't find many. In fact, you'd be lucky to find half a dozen more talked about trends in our industry. What are we referring to you ask? Microlearning. Join L&D Philadelphia and New York Based Alex Khurgin for an interactive session on designing and developing "microlearning". Alex will share insights and help you understand the basics and develop a game plan for when and where to implement this "tiny" strategy. 

The modern employee has 1% of their week to focus on training. What can we do with that roughly 24 minutes a week? Turns out, a lot. Armed with digestible and easily accessible micro-learning experiences, we can create meaningful changes in behavior across our organizations.

Participants will come away from this session having learned a step­-by-­step process for creating effective micro-learning experiences.

More specifically, they will learn to:

- build a business case for micro-learning

- create micro-learning experiences that capture and keep attention

- launch spaced­-out micro-learning campaigns to make learning stick
