Micro-Learning
http://www2.xyleme.com/blog/buzzword-micro-learning
As a term, “micro-learning” has been around since about 2004, when it was put forward in a PhD thesis by Gerhard Gassler.
Basically, micro-learning describes a method of learning, whereby concepts and ideas are presented (or retrieved) in very small chunks, over very short time-scales, often at the point of need, or at the point of maximum receptiveness.
Examples include:

Basically, micro-learning describes a method of learning, whereby concepts and ideas are presented (or retrieved) in very small chunks, over very short time-scales, often at the point of need, or at the point of maximum receptiveness.
Examples include:
- A lesson of the week on the back of the toilet door (as done at Google)
- Catching up on what my Twitter network are sharing, whilst waiting for a train
- Picking up a couple of recent blog posts or videos from my RSS reader whilst eating lunch
- Finding a quick video about how to replace a light bulb in my car
- Looking up the best way to buy a rail ticket from the UK to Germany
Micro learning is gaining the attention of many people because we are not swamped with too much information. An associated approach is the 70:20:10 framework. You can watch a video on this framework at :

Essentially, this framework is all about the following explanation:
70% - from practice, experience
20% - from other people, networks
10% - from workplace - formal lessons
