4-step structure for micro-learning
When your sessions feel disjointed or participants lose focus
Your meetings or sessions need better pacing, clearer transitions, or more engaging sequences to keep participants engaged.
Hook
Start with a captivating element (question, story, problem) to grab attention. This sparks curiosity and motivates participants to engage with the topic.
Book
Introduce the core content or information in a concise and digestible format. This provides the essential knowledge participants need to understand.
Look
Provide examples, demonstrations, or activities that illustrate the concept in action. This helps participants see how to apply the information in real-world scenarios.
Took
Give participants a chance to practice or apply what they've learned, ideally with feedback. This solidifies understanding and builds confidence in using the new skill.
Creates natural rhythm and momentum that keeps energy high throughout.
Each activity hooks attention, delivers content, explores meaning, and applies learning.
- 1Vary the pace between high and low energy activities
