Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is showing the limits of our traditional education systems that mainly build on classroom lectures with face-to-face interaction between teachers or trainers and learners. Now more than ever, there is a growing need for digital learning formats that make it possible to maintain teaching in universities, schools, and enterprises despite the spatial distance from the learners. To address these new conditions of learning, short and small learning units are a promising approach when it comes to demand-oriented learning solutions. However, the question of how to design didactically appropriate micro content is not yet answered by research. To close this research gap, we conducted a qualitative interview study with professionals in the field of instructional design and technology-enhanced learning-design. With this information, we were able to derive 20 requirements for designing effective micro content.

How to Design Learning Applications that Support Learners in their Moment of Need – Didactic Requirements of Micro Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic is showing the limits of our traditional education systems that mainly build on classroom lectures with face-to-face interaction between teachers or trainers and learners. Now more than ever, there is a growing need for digital learning formats that make it possible to maintain teaching in universities, schools, and enterprises despite the spatial distance from the learners. To address these new conditions of learning, short and small learning units are a promising approach when it comes to demand-oriented learning solutions. However, the question of how to design didactically appropriate micro content is not yet answered by research. To close this research gap, we conducted a qualitative interview study with professionals in the field of instructional design and technology-enhanced learning-design. With this information, we were able to derive 20 requirements for designing effective micro content.
