Title: What is micro learning?
Course: Producing Micro Content in a Team (Digivisio 2030) > Section: What is Micro Content?

Micro learning (or microlearning or micro-learning) is an approach that breaks down topics into small, focused pieces of content. But, there is no universally agreed-upon definition of how small these pieces of content should be. Typically, however, micro learning is based on content which takes no more than ten minutes to consume. Micro content can be a separate entity or form part of a more traditional course, such as a Massively Open Online Course (MOOC). Micro learning might include the following aspects:

- (Online) courses that present information in small pieces in several sections based on a single topic.
- Provide the possibility to explore and study the content at your own pace.
- Oriented towards working life skills and knowledge
- Based on the principles of continuous or lifelong learning.
- Improve professional competences
- Include micro content that presents a subject in an engaging way.
- Apply what has been learned in practice.
