This was MicroLearning 8.0…
… The 8th international conference on MicroLearning: 50 speakers and participants from Germany, Austria and Spain came together for this unique event.
An interactive conference…
… MicroLearning 8.0 was a different kind of meeting: it was a workshop conference. It was about personal meetings and sustainable exchange, blending the different perspectives of technologists & academics, practitioners & health professionals
Looking at learning on mobile devices…
…Regarding the effective integration of MicroLearning in medical education and trainings of health professionals. The assessment of learner motivation and learning outcomes has become more and more a crucial issues regarding integrating MicroLearning as a different form of knowledge acquisition and mobile technologies in its delivery. The creation of compelling learning experiences needs to be related to increases in effectiveness and attainment of learning objectives.
Microcontent based learning applications are designed to address learning objectives specific to medical education and the trainings of health care professionals. They bring learning into fast-paced environments that require knowledge-built up, where learning is been difficult to achieve. Looking at integration into a blended learning approach is important to justify the use of mobile technologies and micro learning approaches.
MicroLearning – a digital approach…
… Closing knowledge gaps. Lots of material has to be learned and the time available seems much too limited. Why? Too little time and too much information. MicroLearning structures learning into short activities.
MicroLearning – the propositional design…
… Supporting cognitive learning.
Reduce rhetoric and unnecessary text and focus on content on its propositional essence. MicroLearning uses technological support to call for less rather than more work by the learner, but also more regular learning.
Along with “Mobile Learning”, “Rapid Learning” or “Workflow-integrated Learning” merge to meet the challenges of design of learning applications and strategies in formal and informal contexts.
