This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of microlearning, addressing the complexities of modern learning requirements across public institutions, small and medium enterprises, and informal contexts. As learning demands evolve due to fragmented knowledge, cultural flexibility, and rapid technological advancements, innovative approaches focusing on microcontent, medial fluency, and diverse learning spaces are essential. The volume uniquely explores concepts such as micro-steps of learning within broader contexts, the pedagogical, cultural, organizational, and technological dimensions of microlearning, and the educational applications of various local and mobile devices. It delves into integrating microcontent into new knowledge structures, creating networked spaces for learning, work, and play, and employing game-based methods for effective teaching and learning. Additionally, it addresses micromedia and micro-didactics for fostering new learning cultures, as well as evaluating mediated learning environments and processes. This emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches opens up new possibilities for designing educational environments, enhancing usability, accessibility, and evaluation. It is essential reading for those interested in the future of learning in technologically-mediated contexts and the intersection of various aspects of knowledge and learning.
