What is MicroLearning?
Martin Lindner showed a quote of me from several years back, in which I said that I do not know what MicroLearning is. Time has changed a lot since, so now I have a better answer. I would say "a MicroContent based mind-change".
I am now pretty well able to explain the word MicroContent. At the conference some people talked about learning as a product. Learning is not a product, but a service. And the serviced object is the learner. In services some change should happen, there should be a difference between before and after. In learning this is the state-of mind. If the service is well delivered, the message in the MicroContent Item is now in the mind of the person, so the state of the person's mind changed. And depending on the message this can be a small or large change.
