The mind science behind microlearning

What I liked about this article was the one-paragraph description of how Pringles potato chips are made. What I didn't like was pretty much everything else. The Pringles example stands out enough and is clear enough that you probably will remember how they're made (4 tons of pressure, 11 seconds in hot oil). But the rest of it is just a grab-bag of (apparently) randomly selected theories of learning not actually connected to microlearning. I'm concerned that almost all of what I'm reading in e-learning is falling into one of three categories: misleading advertorial content like this; poorly-reasoned and constructed academic articles; stuff about ed tech that is actually interesting and well written but is too esoteric for most readers.
