Microlecture

The term microlecture is NOT used here to refer to microcontent for microlearning, but to actual instructionalcontent that is formatted for online and mobile learning using aconstructivist approach. More specifically, as described in theChronicle ofHigher Education,^[1]these are approximately 60 second presentations with a specificstructure. They are not just brief (one minute) presentations:although Dr. McGrew had success with "one minute lectures"^[2]at the University of Northern Iowa asdid Dr. Kee ^[3]at the University of Leeds.

David M. Penrose (aka the One Minute Professor), an independentinstructional designer and eLearning consultant, has articulatedthe process for creating these microlectures. As stated(Shea, 2009), these specific lecturesare combined with specific activities designed to promote theepistemic engagement^[4]of the learner. The response of the Higher Education community wasmixed, with some positive^{[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]}and some negative.^[16]

The interest surrounding the use of microlectures hascontinued to grow, even outside of the United States, to placeslike Hong Kong University.^[17]In the United States, the use of microlectures are evenconsidered a vital part of the Pandemic Response Plans.^[18]Additionally, even scholars at schools like Princeton University(Humanities Resource Center),^[19]UNC's School of Government,^[20]Humbolt State University,^[21]University of West Florida,^[22]and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign^[23]support the importance of an innovative teaching-learning approachfor learners in the 21st century.

The popularity of the microlectures has been the focus ofa recent (November 1, 2012) EDUCAUSE resource, the EducauseLearning Initiative "7 Things You Should Know About"series.^[24]The EDUCAUSE series is published monthly and dates back to May 1,2005. In each issue, the focus addresses seven basic questions...

How to create a One MinuteLecture

Professors spend a lot of time crafting hourlong lectures. Theprospect of boiling them down to 60 seconds — or even five minutes— may seem daunting. David Penrose, a independent course designerwho developed San Juan College's microlectures, suggests that itcan be done in five steps:
