Some call it granular, others call it chunked, they mean the same thing—learners want short learning courses. Study after study shows that taking in information in small bite sized chunks leads to increased learner retention. The learning market has been recognizing this trend with shorter and shorter learning courses, including shortening e-learning courses from 4 hours to 1 hour to 30 minutes. Our learning content takes this trend to the next step to meet the demands of learners.
