In 2025, microlearning will evolve to become more sophisticated and ubiquitous. EdTech companies are developing ecosystems of bite-sized learning modules that can be accessed across various devices and platforms, seamlessly integrating education into daily life.
Key features of this trend include:
- AI-curated microlearning paths tailored to individual goals
- Integration with smart home devices and virtual assistants
- Augmented reality microlessons triggered by real-world objects
- Social learning features for sharing and discussing microlearning content
This approach will cater to the increasingly fragmented attention spans of learners and the need for continuous, lifelong learning in a rapidly changing job market. It will be particularly valuable for professional development and skills training.
Successful EdTech companies in this space will need to focus on creating engaging, high-quality content that can be effectively consumed in short bursts. They will also need to develop sophisticated recommendation algorithms to ensure learners are presented with relevant and timely microlessons.
