Creating Impactful Microlearning with AI: From Strategy to Pilot

Deliverables
- Five months of access to the 7taps microlearning creation platform.
- Workshop slides and templates.
- Recommended tools and platforms.
- Participants' microlearning modules for future use.

Objective:
Equip participants with the knowledge and skills to design and implement effective microlearning modules for workplace training or educational purposes. Provide a balance of theoretical understanding and practical application, empowering participants to create impactful microlearning experiences. Leverage AI technologies to optimize microlearning content design and delivery.

Target Audience:
Instructional designers, trainers, educators, and HR professionals.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the workshop, participants will have had the opportunity to:
- Understand the principles of microlearning.
- Identify suitable topics and content for microlearning.
- Create engaging microlearning modules using best practices.
- Utilize digital tools and platforms for microlearning design.

This session empowers L&D professionals to:

• Develop a microlearning mindset: clear, focused, outcome-driven design.
• Build a modular content asset they can plug into any platform (7taps, Google Slides, LMS, email, PPT, etc.).
• Use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up brainstorming, simplify content, and create more relevant learner experiences.
• Leave with a Microlearning Campaign Planner to help them plan, launch, and iterate a microlearning pilot in their context.

Guiding Principles (woven throughout the session):

• AI as co-designer
• Pilot-ready mindset: Learners leave knowing how to test their work
• Tangible outputs: Learners leave with a usable draft + campaign plan

Session Outline
Reframe: The Microlearning Mindset

• What makes microlearning effective (and what kills it)
• Behavior-first vs. format-first thinking
• Real-world examples of “before/after” microlearning transformation

Output: Participants pick a real topic and apply the “Who–What–Why” filter to clarify focus.

Strategic Design (with AI Support)

• Explore the learner’s POV: gaps, blockers, outcomes
• Use Claude or ChatGPT to:
  - Write learning objectives
  - Generate example scenarios
  - Simplify bloated content

Output: Clear, focused learning objective and key content messages

AI-Powered Brainstorming & Template Sprint
Take AI one step further — as your co-creator and layout assistant. Learn how to use tools like ChatGPT and Claude to:
 

• Generate engaging titles and campaign ideas
• Build slide/email/7taps-style microlearning templates
• Brainstorm real-world scenarios and hooks
• Reformat bullet points into micro-content “cards”
• Create reusable prompt-based microlearning templates

    Mini Sprint:    

1. Choose a microlearning format
2. Prompt the AI to generate a draft micro-lesson
3. Edit, refine, and structure it for pilot use

Microlearning Sequence Builder
 

• Design a short learning flow
• Use a universal structure that works in any format
• Add one engagement element (question, challenge, reflection)

Output: Microlearning outline (can be used in 7taps, Slides, Docs, LMS, etc.)
Content Creation Sprint: Build It Your Way
Participants choose the format that fits their workflow:
 

• 7taps for rapid visual design and interactivity
• Google Slides for linear storytelling
• Docs or email for script-based flows
• Other tools welcome (This is not a tool showcase — the focus stays on sound instructional strategy.)

Microlearning Campaign Planner
 

• Walkthrough of a plug-and-play planner:
  • Target audience
  • Channels & delivery cadence
  • Metrics to track (views, replies, completions)
  • Feedback loop
     

Output: Participants fill in their Campaign Planner and define their Pilot Plan
Wrap-Up & Next Steps

• Group reflection
• Sharing and feedback
• Resources and follow-up tools
