promote deeper learning among health
professionals

4. The microlearning does not require separate learning sessions but is
integrated with other activities of the learner. In addition. microlearning is
good for some types of learning environment. where content can be
designed on smaller objects. just-in-time learning and Web 2.0 learning. It
may not be appropriate for all forms of learning and. therefore. it
complements (it does not replace) other forms of learning.
