Micro-Modules
According to ITSC eLearning Team of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, micro-module is a part of micro-learning. It is a way of teaching and delivering content to students in small and very specific bursts that is used to support blended learning and encourage teacher-student discussion in flipped classroom.
Process
Creating a micro-module might be a challenging task for some teachers. It starts with a goal or a vision of how you would like your students to benefit from the module; what kind of specific topic or specific (engineering) concept you want your student to learn from the micro-module, etc.
Example
As you plan and develop micro-modules for your course, at the same time you can also gain inspiration and learn from various style and micro-module example videos available from the link below.
