Microlearning for Teacher Professional Development

This chapter provides an introduction to microlearning, an innovative approach to Teacher Professional Development (TPD) that is particularly useful for emerging technologies such as generative AI. Traditional TPD often comprises generic, disconnected training sessions that fail to meet specific educational demands. Microlearning avoids these shortcomings by providing focused, timely training that can be adapted to various teaching modalities. The resurgence of microlearning during the pandemic underscores its relevance and effectiveness. By offering concise and personalised learning experiences, microlearning can enhance engagement, skill acquisition and application, positioning it as a pivotal tool for continuous TPD.
