There it was, microlearning. Tony Bingham, President of ATD, talked passionately about opportunities for microlearning during his keynote address at ATD, Atlanta, early 2017—the world’s largest learning and development conference. I knew then: You can’t deny the topic any longer!
So, why didn’t microlearning make a debut in an earlier episode of my learning notes? What took me so long? Well, I waited a bit to be able to do a live interview with ‘the queen of microlearning’ a.k.a. Shannon Tipton. We had planned to do an interview in late 2017 for including it as a unique resource in this episode of my learning notes.
Wishing you lots of micro- and macro-learning in 2018, and I hope to meet you at some occasion during the year.
