Microlearnings are short online courses designed to introduce learners to a topic that is expanded on in more comprehensive courses and certificates. Microlearnings are a great way to decide if a longer course or certificate program is right for your needs. Microlearnings are free, and most can be completed in as few as 15 minutes.
