Welcome to my project on microlearning. This project explores:
- How learning occurs in the brain
- What microlearning is and how it fits into today’s fast-paced, digital learning environments.
- The neuroscience behind microlearning
- The benefits and limitations: when microlearning supports deep understanding, and when it might fall short.
The goal of this project is to connect theory and practice: to show how insights from neuroscience can help us design smarter, more efficient learning experiences — especially in schools and digital education settings.

Hey Nik,
Cool delivery idea, I think doing a podcast at some point would be fun as well. It’s a version of micro-learning in and of itself when it’s this short! Did you have that in mind when you made it?
Also, this was very timely for me as I’m putting together a presentation for Neuroscience in my other MET class I’m taking. Have you taken 512 already as well?
I appreciate you making it clear that while micro-learning has it’s benefits like following the natural rhythm of the brain (short bursts), there are limitations to micro-learning when it comes to deep synthesization of disparate or asynchronous topics. I think a good amount about how micro-learning will likely be part of the future of learning, but I worry about what that means for tasks and concepts that require sustained, critical effort. Do you think, like I do, that learning should not always be “easy” and follow the natural patterns our brain prefers?
In any case, thanks for the listen.
