A microlesson is a short, focused learning experience designed to help learners understand a topic in small, manageable parts. Instead of presenting all the information on one long page, Lurny divides the content into individual learning points called stubs.

A microlesson generally contains:

  • A cover page introducing the topic

  • A sequence of learning stubs

  • Quiz questions based on the content

This bite-sized structure makes learning easier to complete, understand and remember.

Opening a microlesson

The opening screen introduces the microlesson and may display:

  • The microlesson title

  • A cover image

  • The number of learning points or stubs

  • Navigation controls to begin the lesson

Select the right arrow to move from the cover page to the first learning stub.

Use the navigation arrows displayed on either side of the screen:

  • Select the right arrow to move to the next stub.

  • Select the left arrow to return to the previous stub.

The progress indicator at the bottom, such as 1/7, shows:

  • The number of the item currently being viewed

  • The total number of items in the microlesson

Continue moving through the learning stubs to reach the quiz section.
