Microlearning: The most effective learning method for employed working students

Since the beginning, EDU Effective Business School has focused on online education for adult working students. Our programs are designed to pack the most punch in the least amount of time while maintaining flexibility. All thanks to effective microlearning (the most flexible education method which we talked about in the last article)

Why do our students recommend this kind of study?

You create a new habit

EDU Microlearning will help you develop a new habit and regularly pay attention to yourself and your development. By studying, you will learn, among other things, to take care of yourself regularly, and you will know that this is also possible with a busy diary of work and personal life. And after graduating, you can continue your self-development, so you don’t get stuck on the spot.

You’ll find that a small part of the day can be devoted to the development, for example, instead of spending time aimlessly surfing the Internet or social networks. Studying EDU Effective and your further personal development will bring you more. It doesn’t matter if you follow up with another of our programs or other topics that we bring, or you dedicate time to another study, watching beneficial videos, reading books, listening to audiobooks, etc.

Creating this habit is one of the other goals of EDU Effective Business School, as it is an important habit, especially in today’s rapidly changing world.

Can I study more than one block a day?

The microlearning programs at EDU Effective Business School consist of ten modules, and each module has thirty daily fifteen-minute blocks. However, if you want to study more blocks, you can. After completing each block, a four-hour microlearning time delay is included in the program. This is to increase the benefits and efficiency of your study. It is not a matter of studying as quickly as possible but being aware of the topics as much as possible and thinking about them.

In the meantime, you can think about the content and realize how to make the most of it in practice. You can get acquainted with recommended videos and eBooks, shareyour observations, suggestions, and tips with others (in the chat system or LinkedIn group set up for EDU Effective students), and thus motivate other students to study. Think about how to incorporate the knowledge from the ongoing study into working life and try it out in practice and thus consolidate it and experience it for further use, which is also a practical benefit of your research.

But, What if I can’t study one day?

Nothing happens! Another advantage of studying with EDU microlearning is learning more daily blocks. You can skip a day and follow up later where you left off.

Final conclusion, benefits, and our tips for the most effective use of microlearning:

• Microlearning is the most effective teaching method for adult working students.
• Microlearning, i.e., an educational range divided into short fifteen-minute parts, allows you to study just when you have the time and desire to learn.
• You always know where you left off and how to proceed – the student system guides you through your studies.
• You always have an overview of how far you have been in the studio, how much you have behind you and how much you still have to complete your studies.
• You can study more daily blocks and skip a day.
• Use the microlearning time delay to expand your knowledge with other recommended content (videos, ebooks, audiobooks, etc.)
• Attend volunteer webinars on a variety of topics
• Share your observations, ideas, and tips with others (in the student system or the LinkedIn group set up for EDU Effective students) and motivate yourself the study with international students!
• Think about how to incorporate the knowledge from the ongoing study into working life and try it out in practice and thus consolidate it and experience it for further use.
• You will create a new habit – work on yourself regularly and develop it even after graduation.
• Set a regular time when you want to study and record it in your daily schedule to achieve your goals better.
