Training is a mandatory requirement in any organization. The organization can have five or five hundred employees but it’s not going to make a difference if none of them know what their job is or how to do it efficiently. Therefore, it’s of utmost importance to give them the training they need so that each one can perform in specific roles as well as take over from someone else if the other is on leave. However, there’s a lot of training to be done and lots of information to take in. Holding long, scheduled training sessions is not feasible. Instead, it would be easier and better to hold microlearning training sessions that would solve all your problems.

Microlearning involves turning a large amount of information into smaller, more digestible pieces. To do this, you make use of multimedia in the form of text, images, videos, audio files, and interactive games to help employees engage with and enjoy their training. This way, they don’t just see it as something boring but necessary and actually retain what they have learned. The best part is that it’s all easily accessible since it can be uploaded to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. Let’s learn some more about how beneficial using multimedia in microlearning is and what are the different multimedia elements you can use to enhance your training content.

Benefits of Multimedia in Microlearning
It’s flexible and convenient to use
In an organization, there’s almost always a lot of work to be done and not enough time to do it. Trying to schedule training sessions and getting people to sit down for them during working hours ends up backfiring. Using multimedia elements in your microlearning training programs allows you to put it on an app. The app can then be accessed at any time, at the employees’ convenience. Additionally, you can give them a flexible time frame in which they can complete their training.

It brings down training costs
Microlearning definitely reduces travel and accommodation costs and delivery costs. You don’t even have to waste time on printing volumes of training manuals, bringing in trainers, booking a training venue, etc. given that all content is going onto an app. Another great benefit is that you can train employees located all over the country and even the world without incurring any sort of cost increase.
