Being the first to come up with a good idea does not always make the path to success easy. In fact, often, it’s quite the opposite.
For example, the idea of micro-learning may be all the rage these days, but it wasn’t always that way. In fact, the company that created the first micro learning programs, AthenaOnline, was kicked out quite a few offices for even proposing the idea.
The idea of micro-learning — bite-sized bits of knowledge that are easy to digest and understand — has been around for ages. It encompasses everything from viewing a short video to reading an article to taking a short quiz. Micro-learning, however, was never a form of enterprise learning until the visionaries at AthenaOnline released its MyQuickCoach application in 1999.
