Ok, maybe these goals might be a tad unrealistic. Even the best eLearning designers can sometimes drop the ball when it comes to training because we forget that what comes easily to us might not come easily to our students and maybe, just maybe we might even overestimate our students’ abilities and interest level. In order to effectively train, we have to evaluate how we present information and make it easily accessible to both novice and expert learners. The trick is though; we can’t dumb down information to the point that it sounds condescending. Remember, at one point there was a time even you didn’t understand the techniques you are now training, keeping that in mind will help direct your training style.
As a training leader, you know the value of a well-crafted, comprehensive eLearning course. Some subjects indeed require depth and extended engagement, but you also recognize that not every learning objective needs to be met with lengthy sessions. Perhaps you've noticed a trend: employees are increasingly seeking quicker, more focused learning experiences that fit seamlessly into their busy schedules. This doesn't imply that your detailed courses are ineffective—far from it! Instead, it highlights an opportunity to amplify their impact by adapting some of this content into microlearning formats.

In the world of corporate training, 'eLearning' and 'microlearning' often pop up in discussions as if they're interchangeable. However, as training leaders, it's crucial to know they're not just trendy buzzwords and they're certainly not the same thing. Each has its own place in the arsenal of a training leader, tailored to meet different needs.
