How many of us remember exactly what we learnt in school or in college? We might remember pivotal moments like the graduation ceremony or our first school dance, but in terms of the content we rote learnt for years, it is a distant memory. So when we attend training sessions at work, how do we know if the content and knowledge is retained, embedded and makes a business impact?

Digital learning can easily overwhelm, inundate, and confuse the learner with options, prompts, challenges and an unpredictable torrent of information… some helpful and some not! I am not suggesting that this learning experience is better or worse, but it is decidedly different.

Microlearning can help your organisation build a workforce that is consistently ready for the ever-changing environment in your industry. A workforce that can retain job critical knowledge, is a workforce that is able to continuously perform at high standards.
