For example,&nbsp;microlearning&nbsp;is employed by popular language apps such as Babbel or Duolingo, which deliver on-demand, concentrated, mini language lessons. Another example is that quick&nbsp;"how to use a plunger effectively" video you found, just in time, on YouTube. Think "bite-sized takeaway." In the classroom, microlearning can help&nbsp;scaffold learning -- intentionally-delivered&nbsp;building blocks and practice, repetition, and feedback can help students learn and retain new information.</p><p>To learn more about microlearning and how to use it effectively with your class, take a look at the following pieces from the Dutton Institute's <a href="https://showcase.ems.psu.edu/"><em>Teaching and Learning Showcase</em></a>:</p><ul><li><a href="https://showcase.ems.psu.edu/node/103">Employing Microlearning with the Intention to Build Skills</a><ul><li><a href="https://showcase.ems.psu.edu/node/96">Employing just-in-time learning: DataCamp</a></li><li><a href="https://showcase.ems.psu.edu/node/94">Using Rise 360 for just-in-time learning via cell phone</a></li></ul></li></ul><h2>Debunked: Online Learning Doesn't Teach&nbsp;You to Think</h2><p>This <em>Times Higher Education</em> article called <a href="https://www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/yes-online-learning-can-teach-you-think">Yes, Online Learning Can Teach You to Think</a> puts forth that quality course design, engaging practices and cultivation of higher-order thinking skills and metacognitive activities all show that online education is valid and not simply a substitute for face-to-face instruction.&nbsp;</p><h2>“Had I heard him correctly? ‘Who else can’t read cursive?’” I asked the class.</h2><p>“The answer: about two-thirds” (Faust, D.).&nbsp;<em>The Atlantic&nbsp;</em>article <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/10/gen-z-handwriting-teaching-cursive-history/671246/">Gen Z Never Learned to Read Cursive</a> explores the diminished use of cursive writing.
