Online Learning and Microlearning Benefits
Online learning enhances the scalability of training, enabling organizations to effectively reach individuals or teams of any size, regardless of location. When online learning is paired with microlearning, there are numerous benefits for both individuals and organizations.
Microlearning, which delivers content in short, focused bursts with interactive elements, appeals to how most individuals prefer to learn. Research suggests that people lose interest and fail to retain information if they don’t take a break after just 20 minutes.
One of the biggest microlearning benefits is that it presents bite-sized information, ensuring employees can actively engage in online learning activities without feeling overwhelmed by massive amounts of information, and making it easier to integrate into busy schedules. This flexibility not only improves accessibility but also supports continuous, self-paced learning, allowing employees to revisit topics or acquire new skills as needed.
According to an Axonify survey, 93% of employees want training that is easy to complete and understand, and 91% want training that is personalized and relevant. Providing online learning that specifically focuses on personalized, bite-sized learning meets these needs and helps employees continually develop their performance for greater workplace success.

The New OLA Report

To meet the needs of the current workforce, What’s My Leadership Style received a recent update that draws on microlearning benefits. The assessment now includes a condensed online report of the learner’s personal leadership style results, drawn from the printable PDF results summary.
