Pedagogical Practices of Microlearning Educational Experience

This chapter explores the development of microlearning pedagogical practices aimed at enhancing student learning in higher education through a design-based research (DBR) approach. Recognizing microlearning's potential for quick, focused learning, the study addresses the lack of strong pedagogical foundations and practical implementation challenges. The research progresses through four phases: analyzing current teaching practices, designing key principles, developing pedagogical strategies, and evaluating their usability via expert feedback. Using surveys and applied cognitive task analysis (ACTA), the study introduces the AMPLIFY framework, which enhances microlearning with eight components: clear objectives, personalized learning, continuous feedback, efficient delivery, engaging content, interactive experiences, social collaboration, and seamless curriculum integration. This research offers practical insights and a systematic approach for implementing microlearning strategies in higher education, bridging the literature gap and setting the stage for future studies.
