Use bite-sized learning for employee development.
Close a knowledge or performance gap by curating, creating, and crowdsourcing bite-sized learning opportunities for your team – which they can access anytime and anywhere.
In today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, your workforce needs to develop new knowledge and skills at a rapid pace. In this highly practical course, you’ll get access to ATD’s MILE model for microlearning and leave ready to design and develop a practical and effective microlearning program.

In today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, your workforce needs to develop new knowledge and skills at a rapid pace. In this highly practical course, you’ll get access to ATD’s MILE model for microlearning and leave ready to design and develop a practical and effective microlearning program.
The MILE model gives you a road map to create a program structure, gather resources using the three Cs (curate, create, and crowdsource), and implement, promote, and evaluate your programs. You’ll review case studies with an eye toward identifying design ideas that you can incorporate into your own programs. Additionally, you’ll learn what to do once you have implemented microlearning—including how to measure for effectiveness and keep your
program content current.
Why You Should Attend:
- Quickly and efficiently create learning content that expedites a learner’s mastery of specific skills and enables you to meet both stakeholder and client needs.
- Use the MILE model to develop bite-sized learning programs that your employees will not only want to use, but also share with others.
- Determine the best way to assess learning and measure the organizational impact of your program so you can continuously improve.
- Apply MILE, a microlearning design model, to design and develop a microlearning program.
- Use the three Cs (curate, create, and crowdsource) to gather the best microlearning resources.
- Ensure that learners are aware of your program and visit or revisit it in a moment of need.
- Determine the best way to assess learning in the program.
- Measure impact in a variety of ways.
- Continually improve the program to ensure outstanding results.
- Construct innovative designs that best meet microlearning principles.

This program is for learning professionals who want to create and deliver microlearning programs that learners engage with and share with others. If you want to develop a microlearning program or determine how this new approach to learning can have a positive influence on your organization’s learning strategy, this program is for you.
ATD education programs are designed primarily for learning professionals—trainers, instructional designers, and organization development practitioners—but also greatly benefit anyone within an organization who is responsible for developing others, from managers to human resources specialists.
“The tools and activities used in this certificate program have prepared me to make microlearning a reality in my organization. It’s energizing to gain expertise in a skill that enables me to provide more relevant, practical learning for years to come. Bravo!”

"The two-day Microlearning Certificate program with ATD was a key inspiration to our new microlearning program and a practical way to start working with and learning from other L&D professionals.”

"After doing a little research, I discovered ATD has by far the broadest and deepest resources available to professionals in training and development."
