Week 2: Content Structuring & Microlearning Principles

• Focus: Deepen understanding of content organization, apply microlearning principles, and develop the full content for Course 1.
• Materials: Provide SME-created “content packets” (2–3 pages each) that participants adapt into microlearning.
• Rationale: Microlearning is ideal for short, engaging online modules, especially for youth with limited attention spans. Structuring content effectively ensures clarity and impact.
• Activities:
• Session 3 (45’ - Facilitator-led):
• SME Content Pack Introduction
• Each participant receives a packet of curated SME content on their chosen topic
• Content Curation Challenge
• Hands-on: Highlight the 3 most important ideas and convert them into microlearning points.
• Microlearning in Action
• Show examples of SME content → transformed into microlearning slides/sections.
• Workshop
Outlining the course materials template.
• Independent Work (2.5-3.5 hours):
• Tally.so Skeleton Build
• Build a storyboard/outline of their course using SME content.
• Add section titles, placeholder text, and a few draft questions — no need for polished content yet.
• Progress Tracker Update
• Upload their storyboard for facilitator check-in.
• Session 4 (45’ - Facilitator-led):
• Peer Storyboard Review
• Pair-share outlines and give feedback on flow, clarity, and engagement.
• Light Tally.so Practice
• Build a short linear demo together (no advanced logic yet).
• Challenges in Content Delivery
• Discuss pitfalls like info overload or sensitive topics.
• Independent Work (2.5-3.5 hours):
• Refine Storyboard
• Adjust outline based on peer/facilitator feedback.
• Optional Early Build
• If confident, begin inserting SME content into Tally.so.

Team Tasks:

• Facilitator: Provide SME content packets, teach microlearning principles, run storyboard workshop.
• Participants: Build draft storyboard and skeleton course in Tally.so.
• Support: Provide storyboard template; check-in feedback on outlines. Supporting Tools: SME Content Packets, Storyboard Template, Progress Tracker. Presentation/Output: Draft storyboard with mapped Tally.so sections.

Revised version:

Week 2: Content Structuring & Microlearning Principles

• Focus: Structure course content into digestible microlearning units aligned with learning objectives, using SME content.
• Rationale: Microlearning supports short, focused, and engaging learning. By learning how to simplify and structure content effectively, participants can better match course flow with their audience’s attention span and needs.

Session 3 (45’ - Facilitator-led)

• SME Content Pack Overview
• Explain who Subject Matter Experts are and how their content supports accurate and impactful learning.
• Each participant receives 1 content packet related to their chosen topic.
• Content Curation Challenge
• Task: Choose one learning objective and break it into 2–3 microlearning points.
• Tip: One learning objective = 1–2 Tally.so pages.
• Microlearning in Action
• Show examples: how raw content was transformed into microlearning formats.
• Discuss formats: multiple choice (facts), reflection prompts (ideas), checklists (strategies).
• Hands-On Workshop
• Begin filling in the Microlearning Points Template in Notion.
• Each learner drafts 2 microlearning blocks based on their learning objectives.

Independent Work (2.5–3.5 hours)

• Microlearning Build
• Continue developing microlearning points for each of their objectives.
• Add 2–3 points per objective.
• Use the course structure table (section, objective, content, Tally.so element).
• Progress Tracker Update
• Upload Notion link in Asana for facilitator review.

Session 4 (45’ - Facilitator-led)

• Course Materials Template & Mapping
• Use the Course Materials Table to map:
• Section title
• Content from SME pack
• Interaction type (MCQ, checklist, etc.)
• Matching Tally.so element (e.g., embed, short text, rating scale)
• Peer Feedback Session
• Pair participants to review each other’s microlearning structure using the checklist:
• Is the flow logical?
• Are objectives aligned with activities?
• Is the content bite-sized and clear?
• Group Discussion: Challenges in Content Delivery
• Discuss common pitfalls: information overload, unclear visuals, handling sensitive content.

Independent Work (2.5–3.5 hours)

• Finalize Course Materials Table
• Fill out and refine based on feedback.
• Ensure each point is mapped to a Tally.so feature.
• Optional Early Build
• If ready, begin inserting content into Tally.so draft. Use one screen per microlearning point.
