According to Gerhard Roth, MicroLearning provides “brain-friendly learning”. The approach is currently being marketed as Knowledgepulse® version 1.5. Roth recommends that learning content be offered in short intervals of 5 minutes at most – the maximum duration that can be processed in a single chunk by working memory, commonly referred to as “attention span”. Within those 5 minutes, each 30 second break must be followed by a repetition of the learning content.
The next learning session may once again contain 5 minutes of learning content. This pattern can be repeated for up to 30 minutes.
