TLDR – “Too long, didn’t read.” NPD practitioners continuously seek to engage learners in a time of increased workloads and decreased attention spans. Microlearning is everywhere — but "short" isn't a strategy, and not every gap is a microlearning candidate. This session moves past format to the decision: when microlearning fits, when it doesn't, and how to build and deploy it well. Participants leave with an evidence-based decision framework, design principles, and engagement strategies.

This 13-module program provides the novice NPD practitioner with an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the Nursing Professional Development Scope and Standards required for NPD practice.

Why do outcomes matter and what is their connection to why we provide an education activity?

All members and roles of the NPD team will benefit from this discussion.
