So, there are two definitions of microlearning: performance support and spaced learning. Computers, for example, can perform rote routines flawlessly, and deal with large and arbitrary amounts of information. We also have trouble remembering the exact details of something we perform several times a day and confuse them.

Learning science tells us that asking learners to use knowledge to make decisions, like those that will be required in the performance situation, is the best way to develop the ability to perform. While you can do mentored live performance, e.g., apprenticeships, there are times when this isn’t viable.
