Microlearning "reflects the emerging reality of the ever-increasing fragmentation of both information sources and information units used for learning," and as depicted here, represents not just a pedagogical change but also a political change. In this tightly-written article, the authors first describe microlearning and offer a taxonomy of sorts, identifying associated models (micro-component model, aggregation model, emergence model, for example), and the examine how microlearning "can be said to have brought with it a kind of political awareness and partly a politics which is nowhere easier to trace than in architectures proposed for its technologies and applications."
