Microcourse sample
So, how does the micro course could be like? You’re about to explore a single lesson from a micro course on microlearning itself. Instead of just talking about it, let’s take you through a mock-up page to really show you how engaging and concise it can be.
While classrooms have evolved with technology, the way we learn inside them hasn’t changed much. We’re still following long, traditional methods that don’t quite fit our fast-paced lives. Microlearning offers a solution, adapting to modern learning styles by breaking education into short, focused chunks. This approach fits our busy schedules and varied learning preferences, making learning more flexible, accessible, and in tune with today’s needs. It’s about making education work for us, not the other way around.
In the age of information overload, the ability to learn in small, focused chunks is more important than ever

What we do
IDEA
First, we identify a gap or opportunity in the learning market. This could stem from observing trends, receiving feedback, or recognizing a specific need that hasn’t been adequately met.
MASTERCLASS
To validate this idea, a master class is designed as a pilot project. This master class serves as a testing ground, offering a detailed exploration of the course’s central theme or skill, providing immediate feedback from real users.
MICROCOURSE
Thus, a product is born: a micro course that meets specific learning needs efficiently and effectively. This iterative process ensures that the final micro course is not only grounded in real-world applicability but also optimized for engagement, learning retention, and user satisfaction.
How we do it
Creating a micro course follows a process much like making a movie, with three main steps: planning, making, and sharing.
First, you plan what to teach and how to teach it, just like writing a movie script.
Then, you create the content, which can include filming videos, similar to shooting a movie.
Lastly, you edit everything to make it engaging and start telling people about it, like editing a film and then marketing it to attract an audience. This approach helps make sure the course is interesting, useful, and reaches the right learners.
