How to create Mini-Courses for students | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it

A mini-course is a short-form learning experience for students that helps them tackle a new skill. Instead of a big topic, it focuses on sub-topics that are more suitable to being broken down into chunks. A student might take a mini-course in isolation. Or they might take a series of mini-courses to build mastery around a broader topic.

The benefits of a mini-course are manifold. Students can see big ideas as a combination of smaller ones. This means a concept might not feel as overwhelming as if it was all grouped together at the start. It also allows students to carve out a smaller amount of time at first to see if a topic is actually of interest to them.
