“…The recent existence of this identified research gap is also supported by current work (e.g., [ 1 , 2 , 49 , 58 ]. Not only do current research efforts conclude that future online learning should by bite-sized [ 2 ], but the work by Ahmad [ 2 ] also points out very recent desire and opportunities for delivering bite-sized digital content during the COVID 19 Pandemic and its accompanying remote emergency teaching.…”

“…They also conclude that the design and development of digital learning content, such as VR content, could benefit. Concerning VR and related fields, a recent study by Alshehri [ 1 ] points out that Microlearning methodologies would benefit from the use of such novel technologies. However, he also concludes that due to the state of the art, AR technology should be favoured when planning Microlearning unity.…”

In the context of e-learning, it is challenging to incorporate emerging technologies, such as alternate reality games or Virtual Reality (VR), within current learning trends. Microlearning is such a current trend. It divides large and complex chunks of content into small and elementary learning nuggets. These single self-contained nuggets are then composed to overarching lessons or courses. The concept of VR nuggets dovetails this educational trend. VR nuggets are standalone, self-contained, and rather short VR experiences that can be combined with other learning nuggets. By using initial implementations of VR nuggets, they can be used to let authors create VR earning content, for example, to let learners experience alternate realities. In this paper, we further investigate the VR nugget authoring concept and extent it. We introduce two novel authoring toolkits that rely on VR nuggets – one based on context-related module interaction (CoNMoD) and one based on visual scripting (ViNS Tiles). In two separate user studies, we examine the acceptance of the toolkits and compare them to existing authoring environments that also rely on VR nuggets but utilize different interface techniques. These studies’ results emphasize the importance of exchanging content between different established tools and indicate the acceptance of our tools regarding their hedonic and pragmatic qualities, also compared to existing tools from related work. As a conclusion, we propose an exchange format for VR nuggets that supports their reusability. It enables authors that use different toolkits to work together. They can utilize VR nuggets created with other toolkits and still use their own preferred toolkit. By means of an expert survey, we draw conclusions on technical aspects and a suitable platform to make VR nuggets available to the community. This survey indicates that potential authors would use such an exchange-approach for creating and presenting VR content and that they are willing to share their work and to contribute in a VR nugget authoring community.

“…Micro‐learning has positive effects on learning success (Al Shehri, 2021; De Gagne et al, 2019). It is at least as effective (e.g., Javorcik & Polasek, 2019) or more effective as other instructional methods, such as e‐learning (e.g., Mohammed et al, 2018) or traditional paper‐based instruction (Nikou & Economides, 2018).…”

BackgroundMost workplace learning is informal. However, some employees struggle to execute informal learning strategies effectively because they lack the necessary knowledge or skills or use their knowledge and skills ineffectively or not at all.ObjectivesWe examined the effects of computer‐based micro‐learning interventions that provide strategy knowledge, prompts, or both, on strategy knowledge, strategy use, and goal achievement—to compensate for these deficits.MethodsA total of 122 employees were randomized into four interventions groups, that is, knowledge, prompts, both, and waiting control group, for a longitudinal micro‐learning training experiment. The participants received 10 micro‐learning nuggets over a month.Results and ConclusionCompared with the control group, results of the interventions suggested that providing knowledge led to more declarative knowledge. Surprisingly, prompts resulted in more declarative knowledge. Combined interventions led to greater declarative knowledge, but no further synergetic effects could be observed. Over the training course, results showed positive, cubic effects on strategy use and for individual goal achievement for the prompts and combined intervention group. Qualitative data suggest a self‐assessment adjustment of strategy use. In future studies, interventions could be custom‐designed to compensate for the different deficits.

“…Some researchers have encouraged the use of educational technology materials in the education process. Microlearning environments have emerged as one of the most notable digital innovations in education that have attracted the interest of scientists and researchers (Al-Nasheri & Alhalafawy, 2023;Alshehri, 2021). Microlearning which is frequently offered in online learning settings is the splitting of instructional content into smaller more manageable pieces.…”

Microlearning is a modern learning modality that has been adopted in recent years for student education. This study aimed to reveal the effect of video-based microlearning on the development of programming skills and technology acceptance among intermediate school students. The study used a quasi-experimental design for two groups. A technology acceptance scale and a performance observation card for programming skills were prepared in order to collect data for the study. A cluster random sample of intermediate school students participated in video-based micro learning. The students were divided into two groups: the experimental group (consisting of 31 students) and the control group (consisting of 32 students). The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of both study groups in favor of the experimental group in the post-application of the performance observation card for programming skills. However, there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the students in the experimental group in the pre- and post-application of the technology acceptance scale in favor of the post application. The study suggested that computer teachers might benefit from employing video-based microlearning to teach students programming skills at different stages based on these results. Suggestions related to the research findings are also provided.
