Abstract:
In this paper we focus on the interaction design properties of microlearning experiences to outline
relevant research directions and main challenges of the field. We start by analyzing current efforts in the
area of educational technologies in terms of their support of anytime-anywhere access to learning
resources, which is a core property of microlearning environments. We also overview learning theories that
are relevant to address the lifelong dimension of informal everyday activities of knowledge acquisition. From
this discussion a set of design requirements and evaluation issues are derived to inform future investigation
and experimentations in the microlearning area.
