This document provides guidance on creating effective micro-learning materials that stimulate student learning. It emphasizes the importance of separating what students need to know from nice to know information. When designing micro-learning content, creators should focus on a single topic per unit and present the essential need to know information in diverse formats like text, video, images and exercises. Nice to know information that provides further depth or context can be included in separate, optional units as long as the connection is clear. The goal is to design flexible, engaging micro-learning that students can complete at their own pace in brief sessions to help stimulate knowledge retention.
