This course will introduce you to the concept of mobile learning and microlearning. You will learn about the strengths and weaknesses of learning through mobile devices, and the situations in which it is recommended. You will also look at how the features of mobile give rise to the need for designing short and focused courses called Microlearning. In addition this course will equip you with the understanding required to develop Mobile learning and Microlearning courses.
Requirements
Good English comprehension skills
Ability to write grammatically correct and fluent English
Experience in analysis, design and storyboarding
Material Included
Self-paced learning modules
Quizzes & Practice Exercises
Additional Reading Resources
Job Aids

Much of the learning now-a-days happens through mobiles for professionals and students. So, one needs to know the nitty-gritty of mobile learning and microlearning. This course is a successful start.
In simple and easy-to-understand language, it explains the terms and concepts associated with this topic. Also, it gives you a clear understanding of when to create a microlearning instructional piece.
Thank you Purnima and Ruchi.
Given the quantum of online learning modules on the Internet, this course came across as quite relevant. It covered everything, right from the design considerations, to strengths and weaknesses, and to situations in which microlearning and mobile learning would come handy. I would suggest every ID professional to take up this course. Thank you so much, Purnima and Ruchi! This entire journey couldn’t have been better!
Microlearning/mobile learning is a new-age concept in learning design. This course from ID Mentors blends it very nicely with some traditional but popular learning theories making it all the more relevant for instructional designers. It builds on their existing knowledge to create new learning. Most of the things that a practicing ID needs to know about microlearning are in this course.
While the course is all about micro-learning and mobile-learning, we can actually experience how it works as it conveys the right messages through the crisp content which is easily understood with examples and non-examples.

This is a good course with engaging and relevant content for instructional designers who are exploring upcoming learning and technology trends.
The course is an orientation, more on the process of SB and SB samples for mobile learning would be a great addition.
