Es liegt am Sujet, daß die Empfehlungen  von David Penrose in Sachen Mikrolearning kurz sind: eat your own dogfood! Wer es gerne ausführlicher hat, dem sei Online Education – Introducing the Microlecture Format  an Herz, Hand und Hirn gelegt.

” … The concept focuses on what is to be learned and it allows, in the online environment, students of various skills and abilities as much time as they need to digest the learning objectives related to the microlecture.

Given such positives, one would think the format would soon become a critical component of every online course.

For those interested, here are Penrose’s steps to creating a one minute lecture:

1. List the key concepts you are trying to convey in the 60-minute lecture. That series of phrases will form the core of your microlecture.

2. Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion. They will provide context for your key concepts.

3. Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera. (The college information-technology department can provide advice and facilities.) If you want to produce an audio-only lecture, no Webcam is necessary. The finished product should be 60 seconds to three minutes long.

4. Design an assignment to follow the lecture that will direct students to readings or activities that allow them to explore the key concepts. Combined with a written assignment, that should allow students to learn the material.

5. Upload the video and assignment to your course-management software.

Tip kam von Howard Rheingold, der gerade twitterte: “I’m going to try the microlecture. My video lectures have been 10 minutes long. Will see what I can do with one-two minutes.”
