Knowledge, Learning, Community

'Microlearning' is the new buzzword in the rapid e-learning community, but be careful. As this article shows, it is often realized as a quick Flash animation. I, however, am viewing the internet on a 4K screen. These animations appear like postage stamps in the middle of my screen (which makes sense, since they were designed for mobile). Designers, however, should create learning resources that can be viewed well on any screen - from a tiny handheld to a living-room television. This takes more care than dashing quick Articulate animations provides. By contrast, look at my presentation pages, which show (imperfectly) how  presentations and videos can be sized up and down to fit any screen.
