In the ever-evolving landscape of digital transformation, businesses face the pressing need to adapt swiftly to changing workplace skill demands. The urgency for agile responses has underscored the importance of continuous Learning and Development (L&D) programs, fostering both personal and professional growth—a trend accelerated by the recent global pandemic.
As a result of this evolution, there’s a noticeable shift towards more flexible online and hybrid learning patterns. The buzzword here is ‘microlearning,’ gaining traction as companies strive to accommodate employees with diverse commitments and learning preferences. Microlearning, breaking down content into easily digestible chunks, resonates well with leadership teams navigating challenges posed by highly distributed workforces.
This approach holds particular appeal for remote, hybrid and on-the-go employees, given its ability to present information in manageable portions, making it both accessible and palatable. Beyond convenience, bite-sized learning is believed to enhance retention rates, boost engagement, and offer actionable insights—qualities that position it as an efficient strategy for addressing the rapidly changing business landscape and supporting long-term L&D programs.
The effectiveness and convenience of bite-sized learning are not novel concepts. Dating back to the 1880s, German psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus delved into how memories fade over time. His ‘Forgetting Curve’ visually depicted the sharp decline in retention immediately after learning without reinforcement. Ebbinghaus highlighted the significance of meaningful information and the ‘spaced learning’ approach, emphasizing the importance of reviewing new information at key intervals to deepen understanding.
Strategically planned bite-sized sessions align with spaced learning, encouraging participants to review and implement actions, reinforcing memory and preparing the groundwork for further learning. Research suggests that bite-sized learning significantly improves immediate learning and information retention while remaining cost-effective.
Ease of Deployment: Tailored to deliver optimum benefits in under an hour, these sessions seamlessly fit into a working day, enhancing attendance and reducing stress.
Problem-specific Focus: Bite-sized learning addresses specific workplace challenges, such as performance management and effective delegation, enabling L&D teams to tailor training to organizational needs.
Hyper-focused Engagement: With a concise running time of 50 minutes, each session is engaging, motivating, and empowering, providing an excellent time-to-value ratio with actionable takeaways.
Flexibility: A modular approach allows L&D leaders to co-create programs suiting their needs, offering single or multiple sessions and topics for comprehensive learning units.
