What is a Microlearning?​

Microlearning offers short learning units with a limited number of questions, published at specific intervals to counteract the forgetting curve. Students can test themselves, refresh their knowledge, and integrate learning into their everyday lives regardless of time and place.

How can I create a Microlearning?​

Add a description:

  1. Name: The name of the Microlearning session allows the user to distinguish the particular session from others. It is therefore only visible to the users themselves.
  2. Display Name: This name will be shown to the participants while the Microlearning session is being performed.
  3. Description: A description of the Microlearning session can optionally be added and will be displayed to the participants at the beginning of the session.

Adjust the settings:

  1. Course: In this field, the Microlearning session has to be assigned to a course. Note that this is different from the Live Quiz, which can be run independently from a course. If you need help creating a course, please review the Course Management tutorial (verlinken).
  2. Start/End date: Microlearnings are limited in time. These fields determine the starting and ending points at which the participants have access to the session.
  3. Multiplier: The multiplier is a factor with which the points are multiplied when a question is answered. A factor above 1 is only used if gamification is activated .

Choose your questions:

For this step, existing questions are required. Note that for Microlearning and Practice Quizzes, only choice-based questions can be implemented. If you need help with creating questions, please review the Question Management tutorial (verlinken).

  1. Questions: The desired question can be added to the session by simply dragging the question onto the plus sign.
  2. Arrows: With the help of the arrows, the arrangement of the questions can be put in the desired order.

End of preparation:

  1. With a click on Create your first Microlearning session is prepared!

How can I publish a Microlearning and make it accessible to participants?​

  1. After you create a Microlearning session, you can find it under Courses. Then select the course to which you added the session.
  2. In the course you have multiple options. You can...
    • ...copy the access link and provide it to your participants.
    • ...edit your session before publishing it.
    • ...publish it. Not that publishing a Practice Quiz or Microlearning session makes the item visible to all participants. This process cannot be undone. Changes to the content of an item cannot be made after publishing.
    • ...delete your session.
  3. After publishing your session, your participants can see the session in their account by joining the course. In the app, the Microlearning session is displayed to the participants as shown in the screenshots below.
