Innovative Approaches to Learning: An Examination of Nano-Learning Research

Nano-learning refers to a learning strategy that delivers content in small, easily digestible chunks that can be understood in a short amount of time. This approach contrasts with traditional learning methods that require more time and comprehensive content, which can take hours or even days to complete. Nowadays, young learners, who may be less willing to participate in lengthy and complex courses or lessons, tend to prefer nano-learning because it is short, concise, and available at all times. This motivates them to gain knowledge and improve their skills. As the demands of learners continue to change, the nano-learning trend is expected to grow rapidly. In recent years, scholars in the instructional design and technology discipline have paid extensive attention to this topic and undertaken substantial research on nano-learning.
