It explains how to make informal learning and micro-learning part of everyday work, which fits better with modern ways of working.

Here’s a summary of their recommendations:

1. Design modular, microlearning content that can be consumed quickly in the context of workflow. Ensure the content remains focused on specific (one or two) outcomes.
2. Make the content easily accessible, so learners may consume it anywhere, anytime, and on any preferred device.
3. Some hybrid learners may not have the home network bandwidth or personal data plans to support unnecessary graphics or high-def content so keep it simple.
4. Ensure content is intuitively hosted, so learners may quickly access them in the moment of need.
5. Use a diverse mix of content, including short videos, eBooks, infographics, podcasts, summary PDFs, sample
   checklists, quick reference guides, and “How to…” content.
6. Make sure formal training links extensively to your bank of Microlearning content, so learners may use them for review and refresher purposes.
7. When designing formal training, make use of Microlearning resources as pre, during, and post learning content to
   help learners access optional and supplementary materials. This will reinforce their trust in such resources
   and help them explore and discover the power of Microlearning as a performance enhancer.

In short – think what YOU would value and provide it to others!
