Abstract
Abstract Technological advancements, the global pandemic, and a different student demographic have forced change in the development and delivery of learning in the higher education classroom. Educators are tasked with understanding and customizing instruction to a new learning environment, in which traditional approaches are not always most appropriate. One approach is microlearning. This study investigated student preferences for various modalities used in microlearning. Results showed short video, instructional screencast, and short live lecture, were preferred over static modalities such as infographics and short stories. Strong relationships within the modalities were also explored. Implications for academic practitioners and industry trainers are discussed.
