In short, micro-learning is breaking up learning modules into bite-sized chunks that can consumed in isolation or in series. It’s respecting the fact that people are busier than ever and that the population is becoming more ADD-ish in its media consumption habits.

I took his day-long course which was actually a shortened version. He normally used to teach a 2-day course, but he found that often people didn't show up for the 2nd day. So it was an excruciating day-long course on how to win SBIRs and to understand the motivations of SBIR reviewers and how to run circles around your SBIR proposal competitors. Of course, if you want to know if you have a chance of getting an SBIR, that's probably a condensed piece of knowledge that could be delivered in 15 minutes. But writing a proposal will take over a month. The amount of time it takes to make a proposal and the money you receive in return is usually below a companies IRR. So why do companies go for SBIRs? Because you have a sole source vendor relationship with the government that allow them to buy from you without setting up a bidding process. Government agencies *love* that. Do you have something to sell to the government? Jacob By the way, the world expert on SBIR is the SBIR Resource Center and the expert’s name is John Davis.

I believe Dave Trager is right--a new term has been coined! (That's on my life to-do list--invent a word like "blog") :) Up until this very moment I thought there was something slightly wrong with me...always bouncing all over the place on my computer from window to window, taking in small bits of information, moving on to the next item. It can get disjointed if taken to the extreme, but then I believe our brains are also adapting to become quicker processors. I now realize, thanks to you, that my way of absorbing information is not wrong but can be celebrated! This is brilliant, Jon. I believe Dave Trager is right–a new term has been coined!
