Those of us who were involved in the early days of learning objects will see a lot of similarity between that concept and this description of microcontent offered at the Microlearning 2005 conference currently taking place in Innsbruck. Similarity, at least, that persisted up to the point where the concept was captured by content producers and converted into something that would be sold by vendors, organized into 'packages' by resellers, and passively consumed by learners. But this account of microlearning returns to the original idea - dynamic, flowing content not produced by some sort of content industry but by the consumers themselves. As a means of conversation and interaction, not pablum to be spoonfed is some sort of misguided instructional design.
