Micro-learning Explainers
Microlearning is an effective method for breaking down content into smaller, manageable chunks for learners. It helps to maintain their attention and engagement. Additionally, by utilizing a microlearning approach, you have the flexibility to reorganize the content and create various training options such as multiple courses, a reference library, just-in-time training, role-specific learning paths, and post-training refreshers.
One popular microlearning tool is Qstream as a learning platform. While quick bite-sized videos can go far in enabling busy adults (especially in a corporate environments) in what I like to call "Knowledge nuggets"

xAPI and LMSes
xAPI can be integrated with Learning Management Systems (LMSes) to provide a more comprehensive and integrated learning solution. The integration between xAPI and an LMS allows for the collection and exchange of learning data between the LMS and other learning systems, such as e-learning courses and mobile learning applications.
Here's how the integration typically works:
xAPI statements are generated from the learning experiences and sent to an LRS.
The LRS stores the xAPI statements and makes them available to the LMS.
The LMS retrieves the xAPI statements from the LRS and uses them to provide insights into the learning experience, such as completion rates, proficiency levels, and engagement.
The integration of xAPI with an LMS provides instructional designers and learning professionals with a more comprehensive view of the learning process, enabling them to make more informed decisions about the design and delivery of their learning programs.
Additionally, the integration of xAPI with an LMS provides a more seamless learning experience for learners, as they can access their learning history and track their progress across multiple systems and devices.
