Abstract

Micro-learning is a relatively new approach to e-learning and especially to mobile learning (m-learning). The aim of this work is to investigate the application of micro-learning in both formal and non-formal education, through a systematic literature review (SLR) of empirical studies during the period 2015-2020, which led to a selection of 38 studies under the PRISMA protocol. From the analysis of the specific studies, it emerged that micro-learning facilitates a better understanding of the teaching content, mobilizes interest, enhances flexibility of the learners, in terms of “consuming” educational content, and is easily accepted by the learners.
