7 minutes or less (at least that’s what I heard at a conference). Or it could be under 10 minutes (because that’s what an industry report said). Or maybe it’s 4 minutes and 20 seconds (because that’s the average duration of a YouTube video nowadays). “How long should it be?” is the most popular question in the microlearning conversation, by far.

Mixed Reality is a phrase used to describe technologies like Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Science fiction foresaw the use of an alternate reality and immersive technologies well before humankind actually developed such advanced technologies. The 80s saw the release of a movie titled ‘Tron’. A software engineer gets pulled into the world of a powerful mainframe computer and interacts with different programs within the system and seeks to escape the digital world in which he is trapped.

You’ll see a lot of vendors/sessions/webinars touting neuroscience or brain-based. And you really shouldn’t believe it.

No argument that neuroscience is advancing, rapidly.

Videos are some of the best training tools available in today’s corporate world. For one, they bring concepts to life and engage learners on an emotional level. Would you rather read a complex manual on how to fix a leaky faucet, or watch a five-minute YouTube video on the subject? It is often more convenient and cost-effective to produce training videos than it is to organize in-person training, especially if you’re dealing with audiences spread across multiple shifts, locations, or time zones.
