In hindsight I approached the e-learning site Nuvvo with unrealistic optimism. I was keen because Nuvvo has a modern, Web 2.0 feel and ethos. Its aim - to provide a way for those who wish to teach online to reach those who want to learn online - seems attractive, even laudable.

I’ve come with six ideas that need some careful examination. Myth 1: Micro-learning is a new idea Well, the term may be relatively new, but the idea is clearly not. To apply the spaced practice effect the learner needs to interact with new ideas and to practise new skills. Repeated testing works well.

I would wonder whether important ideas had been omitted because they didn’t fit the pre-determined pattern and how strained the search might have been for synonyms.

In the long run, it is better to teach one idea comprehensively than ten ideas superficially. The more hooks you can get on an idea, the more it will stick in memory.' As such this is a useful idea, but it means little if a learner cannot relate this to a specific situation with which they are familiar.

The idea is that this magic element will bring together what it knows about the learner with what it knows about the content in order to adapt the learner’s path through the content. If your content introduces new concepts, principles or ideas, then learners will want to test these out and explore them further.

Keep each module to one main idea. Present your idea clearly and simply.
