CONSALE: CONstructing Situation Awareness in microLearning Environments

The rapid evolution of digital technology necessitates quick and effective educational strategies. This paper presents the CONSALE (CONstructing Situation Awareness in microLearning Environments) project, which introduces an innovative approach to designing microlearning-based courses by integrating user-centered Situation Awareness design principles with Understanding by Design methodology. By aligning microlearning modules with explicit learning objectives and practical competencies needed in real-world settings, the CONSALE project addresses modern challenges of workplace and lifelong learning. Building on principles from Situation Awareness-Oriented Design and Goal-Directed Task Analysis, CONSALE ensures the development of coherent and focused educational units in order to support personalized and adaptive learning experiences for reskilling and upskilling across various industries.
