Microlearning is on the rise through learners’ participation in online, self-directed learning through MOOCs and sites like Lynda.com, and people are seeking these learning opportunities at all stages of their lives and educational and professional levels.
Educational institutions and industry will shift toward accepting the accomplishments of learners through these formats and create their own credentialing and accreditation standards, which will lead to more universal acceptance of this learning format. I think the potential is huge, as people are already engaging in this without it being required of them.
