Abstract

This article discusses microlearning, including its uses, benefits, and limitations. The analysis shows that gamification, infographics, videos, apps, and social media may all be leveraged to provide microlearning. The advantages of microlearning, which allow lessons to be given in a little length of time, are supported by several researchers. It is accessible at any time and from anywhere. Microlearning is flexible enough to support several learning modalities and may be tailored to each student's requirements. By making it accessible, teachers may allow students to choose succinct, necessary, desired, and relevant information. Using microlearning increases student comprehension and retention. When lessons are broken down into digestible pieces, students and teachers are more likely to remember what they learned. It is also easier for teachers to update material and be aware of learning goals. Complex or challenging subjects do not lend themselves well to microlearning, and in-depth explanation is required. The learning process' objectives determine the teaching approach. If the material is provided to students in little parts, they may not be able to understand it completely. It is required teachers to develop their lesson plans. However, not all teachers have the time or funds to develop curricula. Microlearning strategies are influenced by various elements, including how instructors employ digital technology, the qualities of each student, and outside variables, like how easily accessible learning resources are.
