Boost the effectiveness of your training through microlearning.

1. Use microlearning to explain the “why” and the “what.”

In a previous article, I showed you how to organize training courses using a simple structure: “why”, “what”, “how” and “practice”.

The “why” and the “what” can easily be explained with videos in the style of “It's not rocket science”, with Jamie and Fred. Make videos that are simple, inexpensive, but impactful, and that simply explain things. If you don't know how to do it, give us a call and we'll help.

These short videos show simple concepts. They are created with a green background, a speaker in front of a PowerPoint, as in the weather. In PowerPoint, simple animations illustrate the concepts.

The advantages of this technique are numerous:

• It is inexpensive.
• You can do them in-house without using a third party for the video that will increase your budget.
• It's easy to change or complete... In a nutshell, it's ideal.

To create these types of videos, you can use Camtasia and a green background behind your office chair, but the ideal and inexpensive tool for a business is the video booth from Rapidmooc.

Call us if you need advice on this product. We have an agreement with them and we sell it to you at exactly the same price as if you bought it directly from them. The only difference is that we train you to use this tool in a context of technical training in companies, with our methods adapted to this type of use.

2. Use these microlearning videos in the classroom or digitally.

The advantage of these training videos is that you can “snack” them, that is to say, peck at them like in a peanut bowl at the aperitif with friends. It's short, fast and therefore versatile. Once your expert has shot his microlearning video, you can reuse it endlessly in two ways: in the classroom, as I told you in my personal experience at the beginning of the video, or in a completely digital journey, guided by the LMS (Learning Management System).

3. Use microlearning videos as a refresh.

If your LMS is well set up, you can fight against the forgetting curve by using microlearning videos as a regular refresher, as I explained in this article.

These refreshments can be automated or triggered on demand, such as when you've noticed a deviation and want to remind the people who caused the deviation of important things.

These tips allow you to free up expert time while increasing the impact they can have on the organization.

To do this, it is important to work with your experts to help them express their content in a simple, understandable and uncomplicated way. In other words, you have to be dejar-go-born.

In your learning organization, you will need people who can support experts in creating microlearning.

If you are interested in this expertise, contact us so we can train your staff in these methods. They can then support your experts and free up their time. The stakes are colossal...

4. The final word.
