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.
