Guidelines for Applying Microlearning in Ubiquitous Learning.

Abstract

Learning and education in the digital age have changed to be flexible and responsive to the needs of learners. Ubiquitous learning and microlearning are important and consistent with Thailand's educational policy that emphasizes the use of digital platforms to support learning. The characteristics of microlearning in a ubiquitous learning context emphasize the design of simple, flexible content tailored to individual learner needs, supporting use on various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers to enhance accessibility and reduce learning limitations. This concept aligns with the Cognitive Load Theory, which helps reduce unnecessary burden and supports continuous learning for maximum learning efficiency. However, the challenges lie in practical implementation and designing effective microlearning content that is consistent with diverse learning contexts. The objective of this article is to propose guidelines for designing microlearning in conjunction with ubiquitous learning, whereby readers will gain insights into designing content that can be adapted for teaching and learning or the development of digital learning resources to achieve maximum learning effectiveness.
