Making Content Just the Right Length

Microlearning works best when it is short, focused, and easy to digest. Here’s how to ensure your content stays within the perfect range:

1. Stick to One Key Idea Per Deck

Keep each deck centered on a single topic, like “Handling Difficult Clients” or “Implementing Agile.”

2. Keep Lessons Between 5-10 Minutes

For video-based content, keep it under 10 minutes. Aim for 400-600 words for text, which typically takes about 3-5 minutes to read.

3. Be Selective with Multimedia

Enhance the experience with videos, infographics, or quizzes, but don’t let these extend beyond the 10-minute mark.

4. Add Interactive Elements

Quizzes and quick simulations are great for engagement, but they should be brief and to the point.

How to Estimate Reading Time

Take the total word count and divide it by 200 (the average reading speed in words per minute). For example, 500 words will take around 2.5 minutes to read.

Focus on clear, concise, and engaging content to create effective microlearning that fits the corporate schedule.
