Bite-sized learning, microlearning, nanolearning: They’re all fancy names for learning something in small amounts. Mediums like Duolingo, Squla, and Kahoot, use microlearning tactics to encourage people to learn things. Spending 1, 5, or 15 minutes on learning something new is more effective than sitting down to study for hours on end: our brains can’t really concentrate and actively pick up information for longer periods.
Learning takes time, and it’s good to develop a habit for yourself in which you take some time for learning, whether its microlearning or longer study periods. The summer period is a good time to start developing the habit of learning, as most of us often have some breathing room between busy periods.
