How do you incorporate scaffolding in microlearning? How is scaffolding different in microlearning than in longer formats? First, let’s define scaffolding. Scaffolding is support for learners that gradually fades away until the learner can do the task without support. Think of construction: you use the scaffolding while a skyscraper is being built. When the building is complete, the scaffolding is taken down.

Every course or training initiative has at least one of two goals: to bridge knowledge gaps , and/or to transform the learner’s behavior. Instructional designers aim to provide the necessary content to accomplish these goals, but sometimes the delivery of a course or training isn’t very effective. In these cases, students or trainees may not experience the results that they (or their employers or faculty) were hoping to see, and the course will need to be improved… … but how ca

Entrepreneurship is fun, but it has the potential to be not-so-much fun. Many people think that it is stressful trying to build their business. I agree, it is. But that stress doesn’t go away when you start realizing a profit. In fact, it can become more stressful when this happens. Keeping customers happy, getting new customers, monitoring competition, staying innovative, and keeping employees happy can take its toll.
