3D environments, e.g. virtual reality, or alternate reality games will similarly be dearer. Of course, the technologies you choose to deliver in will have costs as well. If you’re using video, it’s more costly than images and text. Benefits Those costs, however, are likely to be offset by much-improved learning outcomes.

One alternative, occasionally seen, is to have the learner evaluate their own response. We could try to have an intelligent programmed response (c.f. artificial intelligence), but those can be both difficult to develop and costly. Is there another solution? There are positive benefits to this, as it gets learners to become self-evaluators.

Knowing when to put information in the world is a powerful alternative, in many cases superior to training. Putting information in the head, i.e., learning, makes sense in many situations, but it’s not easy to reliably get learning to persist. Further, certain situations don’t align well with our cognitive architecture in that respect.

Alternatively, for spaced learning, just taking apart an existing course isn’t likely to yield the necessary outcomes. There are substantive differences between solving a large information problem with a lookup table and managing a repeated process with a checklist. How-tos, whether video or static, similarly have their own design principles.

When to space learning The (non-exclusive) alternative is when it needs to be ‘in the head’. In fact, it’s conceivable to use the second form of microlearning, spaced learning, when we want to develop people’s ability to use a particular form of job aid. That is, when we need folks to be able to respond without the use of job aids.
