With our attention span decreasing day by day, our ability to understand and remember long form content is being impacted. In this digital age, continuous technological changes are inspiring new ideas and strategies that improve learning. Microlearning is a tool that allows students to learn quickly and recall information through shorter learning modules. Microcontent is more holistic than mere data in a sense that data does not always provide complete information, but microcontent does. It is also helpful for continuous professional development, and it provides learners with the flexibility to engage in a number of different learning modalities such as short articles, bite-sized videos or audios, podcasts, blended instructional designs that extend the reach of live educational activities into a succinct video or audio, and illustrative case studies for model clinical decision-making. Like this, it caters to the needs of the students while also achieving the goals set by the instructors. It is beneficial in catering the dwindling attention spans of the Gen Z and Alpha generation leaders in the most effective way possible.
