In this 40-minute audio interview, Barry Nadler discusses mobile learning, nano-learning and microlearning, and how an instructional designer should think about these concepts with Shauna Vaughn, Lead Instructional Designer at Sweet Rush.

This interview is part of a larger discussion related to her article for the eLearning Industry blog – 2015 Instructional Design Trends Compass: Calling IDs to Action.

WHAT IS NANO-LEARNING?

Nano-learning is the act of making learning convenient. Today, we are on the go more and more and have an intimate relationship with our mobile devices. Therefore, as we consider how we develop modern learning programs, we should be considering how learners interact with their devices.

This is chunked content that was designed with mobile delivery in mind. This is also termed bite-sized learning.

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?

For the corporate world, you might see nano-learning as job aids, reference materials, tutorials, how-to guides, or videos.

Examples:

  • Duolingo
  • Lumosity
  • Watching a YouTube video
  • Reading blog article

WHAT IS MINI-ELEARNING?

This is the act of taking something that was originally eLearning and simply converted to mobile. This is simply a bad idea and as Instructional Designers, we should not do this. Nobody wants to watch a one-hour, PowerPoint presentation on their mobile device.

eLearning Mindset – Learning Something New Is Valuable

March 4, 2015 Barry Nadler Leave a Comment

A haunted attraction is potentially one of the hardest locations to shoot photography and video. There’s fog, rapid action, actors that like to lunge at the camera, and extremely low light environments. At the end of the 2012 Halloween season, I knew I needed to actually learn to be a better photographer if I intended to succeed in my role as the media specialist for a Halloween attraction I work with on the side.

I was noticing that most of my photos were blurry or that my camera wasn’t even letting me press the button to take the photo. It was possibly some of the most frustrating photo shoots I had been on.

Understand, I know my way around a video camera. I was in the television industry for about five years working for local news organizations and as an in-house video camera operator for a hotel convention center. I have rarely had issues with cameras. So, this was really getting me upset. Was I actually going to need to be learning something new?
