Microlearning offers an interesting training solution both for professionals and for university students. Short, brief, agile the contents proposed in micro-learning formats correspond to current learning modes. However, they serve certain types of knowledge better, and learning methods, such as distance learning, are more favorable to this approach. This paper will briefly review the research in the field and will present a practical case of microlearning application at the university level. The University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO) has indeed designed a digital concept based on micro-learning to train professors and students on issues related to the use of digital means in the classroom. Called Flashlearns, these short training units embed video and are structured and organized in a way that promotes learning. The paper describes the project and the instructional design, and it presents the results obtained. The paper concludes with some ideas for extending the project and opening new possibilities.
