Microlearning Moments

Background & Objective:

To reduce the cognitive load in learning, CDG designed Microlearning Moments to provide 5-minute lessons that drive the most important key aspects of training home for the learner. Microlearning Moments interrupt the mental process of forgetting the most important elements of the training, by using the practice of recall and repetition. This breaks up the monotony of the learner.

Learner Audience:

Subaru of America Team Members at Headquarters and in their Retailers nationwide, at every level within the company.

Strategic Approach:

CDG's learning and development team recognized the extensive amount of in-depth content covered within Love Promise University, and opted to create reinforcement learning tools, including Microlearning Moments. Microlearning Moments are short, highly focused lessons that highlight key strategies and takeaways. They are presented in text, video, or image formats.

Learning is split into small parts and recalled overtime (knowledge checks). Microlearning Moments contain human-centered learning which takes into account the average human attention span is only about 8 seconds.

The intent of Microlearning Moments is to hook the audience before their attention is lost. Focused information is given to make comprehension easier and to reduce cognitive load. These shorter lessons improve mental focus, support long-term knowledge retention by 80%, and are an intentional ideal approach for skills-based learning. Perpetual review of information, in small amounts of time, improves recall and knowledge transfers while being an easily accessible tool to watch throughout the learner's workday with minimal interruption.
