Blended learning combines face-to-face instruction with digital and online learning activities to optimize outcomes.
Question 5: Which of the following best describes microlearning?
- Learning delivered over a long period in small doses
- Short, focused learning activities targeting a specific skill or concept (Correct answer)
- Mobile-only learning experiences
- Learning designed for beginners only
Correct answer: Short, focused learning activities targeting a specific skill or concept
Microlearning delivers brief, focused learning units that address a single topic or skill to support just-in-time performance support.
Question 6: What is the primary advantage of asynchronous e-learning?
- It allows real-time instructor feedback
- It provides learners flexibility to access content at any time (Correct answer)
- It requires no technology
