‘Microlearning’ is a term to describe delivery or assessment in small, manageable chunks. If you have a daily random glossary entry on your VLE or your teacher regularly messages you a short-answer question, you have experienced microlearning.
Microlearning is best seen as a companion of existing learning strategies, not a substitute for them. Moreover, it only works for subjects that can be broken down into small chunks — hence it has been widely adopted in language teaching where new vocabulary can be picked up more easily in small regular chunks than larger ones.
