Micro Learning
Learn in minutes, in your own time and place
Welcome to the DSiDC’s microlearning page. Microlearning is all about learning new information in small ‘bite-size’ chunks. Each microlearning course should take between five and ten minutes to complete. This makes it a convenient form of learning as you can complete the education session at a time and place that is convenient for you. The microlearning is designed for mobile phones as well as tablet and desktop computers. You can click on the tile to access the course on your tablet or computer. To access on your mobile phone simply scan the QR code so you can even learn while on the go!
