Adult learners acquire information in a method that comes naturally: self-directed, in that they seek information as problems present themselves, connected to a vast amount of information and various social networks, and in a timely manner. Timely, in regards to when they need the information, when they have a moment to pay attention, and within short bursts of time, regardless of their location. Faculty members taking into consideration their adult learners' needs should consider their learners and create information nuggets that are just the right size for cognitive processing, linked to relevant larger learning objectives, and designed to be attainable through multiple devices. They could deliver and create opportunities for microlearning in their online classrooms. This article defines microlearning, explains how mirolearning enables enhanced cognitive processing, details microlearning design and delivery methods, and describes the effectiveness/benefits of using microlearning design.
